Research shows that 98% of megaprojects experience delays of up to 20 months, and 70–90% go over budget — with mean cost overruns reaching 62%. Behind every overrun is a risk program that didn't scale, didn't communicate across contractor boundaries, and didn't shift decision-making from instinct to evidence.

This session confronts the hard truths of risk management in megaproject environments where data fragmentation, inconsistent scoring, and stakeholder overload undermine even well-intentioned programs. You will explore how to structure risk hierarchies and governance models to maintain discipline across distributed teams, and how probabilistic analysis transforms risk conversations from opinion-based to evidence-based. You will leave with the real playbook for running complex, multi-contractor programs.
