...Course Project Paper Part II Salvage CSS Georgia Branden Pevear Keller Graduate School of Management PROJ 595 Willie “Alex” Hosch 11AUG15 Table of Contents Table of Contents 2 Introduction 3 Decision Tree Analysis 3 Discussion of Decision Tree 3 References 7 Introduction The expanding of the shipping waterway in Savannah, Georgia, won't be dredging up just mud, silt, and sand, it will be raising up a link to the past: an “iron-sided” ship that secured the city of Savanah during the Civil War. That was until the ship was deliberately scuttled so it would not fall into Union military hands at the end of the war. The raising and removal of the CSS Georgia is an essential federal, and state proposal that includes the increasing the channel depth to 50 feet. This increase of depth is to permit the larger cargo ships access to come into the harbor without relying on the schedule of the tides. In order for that channel depth increase, the CSS Georgia needs to be removed from its sunken position and moved to a salvagable location for furture use. U.S. Navy divers will need to take exceptional caution because of the strong likelihood that live ammunition and powder are still inside the wreckage. Risk Management Planning The program manager directing the slavage project group and the project stakeholders will, in accordance with ATOM (David Hillson, 2012), assure that the risks are recognized, and peoperly managed through the lifecycle of the salvage project....

...Risk Paper #2 Case Study – Tender Evaluation Marjorie Spitz Keller Graduate School of Management PROJ 595- Project Risk Management Instructor: Professor Bill Lewis Week 7 Date: April 20, 2013 Introduction In a tender evaluation process, it is vital to identify, assess and quantify risks that might be associated with the tender. According to Cooper, Grey, Raymond and Walker (2005), risk management is vital in the tender evaluation process, because risks associated with specific tender responses are identified at an early stage, so they can be addressed explicitly in the tender evaluation. The high-risk areas on which the greatest attention and effort should be focused in the evaluation of tender responses are identified. (Managing Risk in Large Projects and Complex Procurements.Ch.13, pg 148). The goal of this paper is to compare and contrast the two phases of the case study Tender Evaluation. “Phase 1 is concerned with establishing a baseline against which tenders can be assessed, prior to bids being received. Phase 2 compares each submitted tender offer with the baseline, to develop a comparative risk assessment for each one.”(Cooper, Grey, Raymond and Walker, 2005). Both phases are important in order to understand the risks during the tender evaluation process. ...

...Running head: PURCHASING A HOUSE RISK PAPER Purchasing a House Risk Paper Keller Graduate School of Management Project Risk Management PROJ 595 Dr. Susan Orr August 04, 2013 Purchasing a House Risk Paper INTRODUCTION The many advantages to owning a home have been well publicized. However, the above satistics make it clear that owning a home is not without risk. To form a complete picture, you, the prospective buyer, need to consider the potential risks and disadvantages of home ownership as well. Understanding these disadvantages beforehand will give you a better chance of minimizing their impact and avoiding the fate suffered by these homeowners. RISKS IDENTIFICATION There are many risks in buying a new house such as: • The opportunity cost of investing in an alternative investment is very high because the entire cash and future income stream is tied up into one asset a home, which may or may not appreciate. • The house is an undiversified investment, so if the market tanks as it has, game over. • Knowing that we do not own our home, the bank does. • A lot of cost connected to home ownership, such as repairs and insurance and fees and potential hazards I have not considered. • If I lose my job, game over, this will put a lot of stress on me. • There is a chance that your new home will lose value. Luckily, in general, the longer you own your home, the less likely a loss becomes. Loss of value is typically a short-term problem, possibly due to the local...

I have been coaching travel baseball teams for PBI the last 6 years and understand the business very well. The great thing about this company is the indoor facility they currently have. It is over 17K square feet and is the only one of its kind in northern Illinois. The current owner is never in the building and has proved over time that he is not wanting to run this business anymore. I decided last December to reach out to the current owner and see if he is looking to sell his business and he was very much on board. Although I have not purchased the company yet I would like to start preparing as if I am going to do just that. Now the process of purchasing a company is a very large project with many risks I want to turn my attention to the process of change...

Introduction “This project is to introduce a new construction facility to house a state-of-the-art student union for MSOE, focusing on sustainability, green technologies, and renewable energy”. The Campus Center, or “CC” at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is currently home to the student bookstore, administrative offices, a small café, a variety of classrooms for different disciplines, and a third-floor lounge area for students to gather to study or relax (Milwaukee School of Engineering, 2016).

...anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...
