There are standard procedures proposed for risk management (RM) such as “ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management Principles and Guidelines” that provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk. However, RM is still among the most popular research topics in project management domain as there is a lack of consensus on the definition of risk as well as the contextual factors affecting its level. Many authors argue that although complexity, vulnerability, uncertainty, risk and resilience are concepts of growing interest, there is a lack of structured synthesis of these concepts and their relationships. More research is needed to understand risk‐related phenomena and factors. In this paper, we will use the term “risk‐ related factors” to denote all project and environment related factors affecting the probability of occurrence and impact of risks (such as sources of vulnerability, complexity and resilience). Sustainability is also integral to project risk management as a risk‐related factor as well as a source, an objective and a perspective. In this paper, we will review risk assessment and sustainability studies in the project management literature and discuss how risk assessment can be improved by better understanding risk‐related factors and incorporating sustainability into risk models.

An Experimental Study on Impact of Risk Data Visualization onRisk Evaluations
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Eken, Görkem (null; 2018-11-18)
Risk assessment is a systematic process to characterize and evaluate risk, with the available knowledge. Thus, its success depends significantly on the "availability of knowledge" during the assessment process. The knowledge elicitation from experts, the structure of the risk database and information visualization that may help sense-making from previous projects are critical factors that can improve risk assessment process. Risk assessment is usually carried out at the start of a project and updated during...
ASSESSMENT OF SUPPLIER RISK FOR COPPER PROCUREMENT
Buzdogan-Lindenmayr, Ezgi; Kara, Guray; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2019-01-01)
Procurement risk management (PRM) requires a good understanding and assessment of all potential risks. As the procurement industry mostly functions globally and the supply-demand chain forms a dependency structure among all interested parties, the quantification of risks related to the suppliers gain importance. This study presents a systematic PRM to evaluate and quantify the risks of a commodity associated to its suppliers. The probabilistic set up using total probability theorem on the information collec...
A risk management approach for acquisition of software intensive systems in the Turkish Army.
Saylan, Necip; Demirös, Elif; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
The current techniques of risk assessment rely on checklists and human expertise. This constitutes a rigorous approach only when the people are experts on risk assessment. This thesis introduces a formal method and addresses the necessity of the identification and analysis of the risk. During implementation of risk management process, risk assessment will be discussed within an acquisition of software intensive systems in the Turkish Army. This thesis includes a survey and comparison of other software risk ...
Using Post-Project Reviews for Risk Assessment of Construction Projects
Shokouhi, Pegah; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-8-26)
Risk management (RM) is about identifying risk factors, analyzing their impacts on project success, and developing management strategies to mitigate them. Learning from previous projects to make better predictions in forthcoming projects is critical for the success of RM activities. Many construction companies conduct post-project reviews (PPRs) to record lessons learned (LL) from projects. However, if these reports do not contain the necessary risk-related information and are not prepared and stored ...
Learning from risks: A tool for post-project risk assessment
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Aouad, G. (2008-12-01)
Risk management (RM) comprises of risk identification, risk analysis, response planning, monitoring and action planning tasks that are carried out throughout the life cycle of a project in order to ensure that project objectives are met. Although the methodological aspects of RM are well-defined, the philosophical background is rather vague. In this paper, a learning-based approach is proposed. In order to implement this approach in practice, a tool has been developed to facilitate construction of a lessons...
