The talk will begin at 6:30 and usually lasts one hour. Please RSVP below, cash or credit card payment is accepted at the door.

Abstract: Benefits of Risk-Based Communication in Geological & Geotechnical Engineering

This presentation demonstrates the benefits of taking a risk-based communication approach with project management and clients. An example will be presented where ineffective communication regarding cost and schedule risk associated with a geological/geotechnical decision led to an undesired outcome. Based on lessons from that case, two examples will be given where these risks were communicated correctly and innovative solutions were accepted. Examples will be provided from an oil sands project in Canada and a liquefied natural gas project in Papua New Guinea. The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness of how risk-based communication, especially early in a project, can lead to risk tolerance regarding geological/geotechnical engineering options and decisions.
