Speaker Bio:
Holly Parkis is Portfolio Manager for Special Studies at SMA Consulting. She is an expert in Monte Carlo simulation, project planning and management, and quantitative risk analysis, and has provided advisory services including integrated cost and schedule risk analysis, risk analysis and management, procurement preparation and claims preparation and defense for billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure projects including highways, tunnels, major bridges, drainage, light rail transit, water and wastewater treatment, and manufacturing. She has authored multiple articles, journal papers, and whitepapers, and is a regular guest lecturer at the University of Alberta.
Presentation Overview:
Capital projects are an exercise in managing uncertainty. Linear projects are highly vulnerable to all forms of risk and changes in site conditions are a major source of cost increase. Tunnel projects sit at the intersection of all of these concerns. Good risk quantification, strong risk management and a risk-aware project culture is a vital component to ensure project success.
