The concept has shown to be very useful for de-risking civilian and commercial projects.

By rehearsing on a physical models/mockup we visualize, rehearse and stress test the plan before executing it. From this you will get a clear view of the critical phases of the plan, a common understanding of the project and a list of exact recommendations for how to improve the plan.

A PROJECT MAY BENEFIT FROM A RoC DRILL IF IT:

• Is a physical activity, such as construction project or a logistical operation

• Involves several actors

• Has overlapping activities or interfaces

• Requires cooperation between the actors

• Has health and safety elements

The project may be dynamic in nature with scope for “things to go wrong” potentially leading to financially expensive delays, damages or health and safety incidents.

THE OUTCOME OF THE RoC DRILL IS:

• A risk assessed action list of outstanding actions and risks

• An improved common understanding of the project

• Identification of flaws in the plan

• Requirements for coordination and interface management

• Determination of unresolved issues and assumptions to the project that needs to be resolved

• Identification of project risks and risk mitigation

• Ways to improve the plan
