Risk management in a mega-project: the Universal EXPO 2015 case
by Giorgio Locatelli, Mauro Mancini
International Journal of Project Organisation and Management (IJPOM), Vol. 2, No. 3, 2010

Abstract: The paper analyses the literature on risk management in mega-projects suggesting possible mitigation actions to be considered in the stakeholders' management. EXPO 2015 represents a perfect project to understand the strength of a rigorous methodological approach to uncertainty and the need for a mature consciousness at managerial level on these topics. Analysing real available data on this project, the number of visitors appears overestimated, so, by adopting a framework, called SHAMPU, the paper quantifies the relative impact and provides possible mitigation actions. Practical actions crossing the risk management phases in mega projects proposed by literature are suggested in the conclusions.
