Engaging the Supply Chain in Risk Management

Summary

Managing risk and uncertainty was identified as being a  critical element from the start of the Crossrail project. The size, complexity, nature of the works, and ‘thin client’ operating model resulted in a requirement to extend risk management into the supply chain. This paper describes the process of doing this, along with the lessons learned, and will be of interest to any organisation designing risk management processes in the context of delivery models.
