Project Risk
Management Services
Effective risk management is more than just preventing problems—it’s about seizing opportunities to improve project performance. At IMS, we help you identify, analyze, and proactively manage potential risks, ensuring your projects stay on track and deliver maximum value.
Understanding Risk
Risk consists of two key components:
- Probability: The likelihood that an event will occur.
- Impact: The potential consequences if it does.
By evaluating both, IMS provides a clear view of how each risk could affect your project’s scope, schedule, costs, and deliverables.
Our Approach Aligned with PMI Best Practices
We leverage PMI’s risk management framework to guide each stage of the process:
- Plan Risk Management
- Define how to conduct risk management activities.
- Clarify roles, responsibilities, and risk tolerance levels.
- Identify Risks
- Collaborate with your team to uncover potential risks and opportunities.
- Document key details like risk triggers, exposure, and likelihood.
- Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis
- Prioritize risks based on their probability and impact.
- Focus on high-threat or high-value opportunities for immediate attention.
- Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis
- Use advanced modeling or simulations (e.g., Monte Carlo) for deeper, data-driven insights.
- Assign numerical values to risk impacts for informed decision-making.
- Plan Risk Responses
- Develop strategies to avoid, mitigate, transfer, or accept risks.
- Outline clear actions, timelines, and responsibility assignments.
- Implement Risk Responses
- Execute response plans and track outcomes.
- Ensure teams have the resources and guidance to act effectively.
