Risk Management in Engineering Practice
Engineers often feel they are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to risk management and profitability. If they follow all of the risk management advice they are given—e.g., “only sign 100% insurable contracts,” “don’t do business with difficult clients,” “send CYA letters about everything”—they risk losing clients and projects. But engineers are also aware that one claim can have devastating impact on the firm’s profitability in the form of a (often quite large) deductible obligation, lost time, damage to reputation, and the like.
This seminar will explore how engineers can navigate the dangerous waters between sound risk management and profitability. Practical advice will be provided about client and project selection, contract negotiation, and using documentation and communication to strengthen client relationships and reduce the likelihood of professional claims.
