Jeremie Averous is the founding Senior Managing Partner of Project Value Delivery, a global consultancy empowering organizations to be reliably successful in executing Large, Complex Industrial Projects.As executive advisor to project-driven companies and owners, project practitioner, trainer, certified coach, he likes to describe himself as a K.E.E.N, a Knowledge Enhancing Exchanging Networker. By sharing in his books, trainings and consulting interventions many years of experience in Large, Complex Projects throughout several industries, he aims to reduce drastically the wastage and frustration created by unsuccessful projects.
In this handbook, Jeremie Averous stresses the need to further improve and reinforce project risk and contingencies management practices, in a consistent and objective manner. This aspect of Project Management remains a priority even 10 years after the first edition, as we observe that overall improvement of knowledge and methods in this area remains slow and still has to catchup with the increasingly complex and unpredictable environments of current and future large Projects/Programmes. - Stephane Albernhe If this unprecedented little book had to be condensed in a single sentence it could be: ""when managing a project you have to expect the unexpected and this is the way to be prepared for it"". Page after page it is filled with practical recommendations directly drawn from the author's involvement in contracting activities and the day to day management of large industrial projects - Jean-Pierre Capron
