It does not have to be time consuming, complicated and expensive. But unfortunately it is most of the time… Especially in complex projects!
That is why we use risk management tools!
In risk management there is a number of tools, or methods, one can use to identify, rate and mitigate risk.

To the more complicated, expensive and time consuming ones, such as organisational risk governance and organisational risk communication.
With educational examples, our goal is to present the reader with situations or projects where a risk became an incident. By analysing what went wrong and what should have been done, we can hopefully provide valuable knowledge to the reader.
What went wrong
In these educational examples we present a case where a specific project or part of the projects have gone wrong. We try to examine where the “point-of-no-return” is (i.e., where the risk became an incident).
What should have been done
Then, when we know where the project went wrong, we will go back in time before the “point-of-no-return” and see what could have been done differently to avoid the risk becoming an incident.
What can we learn
By doing so, we can provide valuable knowledge and “experience” to, hopefully, get your critical thinking going, so you can avoid the same incidents in your projects!
