Holistisches Chancen-Risiken-Management von Grossprojekten
Extreme Ereignisse sind in unserem Denken meist weit weg entfernt. Treten sie trotzdem ein, treffen sie uns oft unerwartet. Wenn Ereignisse mit schweren Folgen für die Umwelt und den Menschen einzeln auftreten, werden sie von den meisten Menschen als extrem empfunden. Eine Vielzahl von kleineren Ereignissen über einen längeren Zeitraum, deren Wirkung in Summe ähnlich groß ist, kümmern hingegen kaum jemanden.<br> Gerade bei großen Bauprojekten verursacht das Eintreten von nicht erwarteten, extremen Ereignissen wie Naturgefahren, der Einsturz einer Brücke oder der Brand in einem Tunnel oft eine auch öffentlich wahrgenommene Schockwirkung. Aber auch die Überschreitung von Kosten und Bauzeiten, bedingt durch unbekannte Risiken, verursachen Ängste und Schuldzuweisungen.Das Buch zeigt einen möglichen Weg auf, wie solchen unbekannten Risiken aber auch Chancen begegnet werden kann. Basierend auf wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und umfangreichen prak-tischen Erfahrungen wird ein strukturiertes holistisches Chancen-Risiken-Management für Großprojekte erläutert. Auch auf die Corona-Thematik wird aus Sicht des Chancen-Risiken- Managements eingegangen.
