Abstract

This study aims to identify the pitfalls in risk management implementation, focusing both on hard and soft sides of risk management. The research design was based on an action-research performed in an engineering company that develops projects in four different markets: hydrocarbons, mining, infrastructure and environment, and power. The result shows the importance of top-down engagement in implementing risk management and, on the other hand, the pitfalls in cascading down the implementation drivers, reducing the gap between what is said and what is done.
