Risk Assessment and Mitigation

A decade of Risk Monitoring and Mitigation for UT System, plus performing a Capital Project Delivery Risk Assessment for the Texas State Univ. System.

Your actual delivery processes impact a range of risks on projects and across your enterprise; and they also drive your efficiency! Ask me how I managed Risk Mitigation for the largest public builder in Texas.

Extensive experience including UT System’s Project Delivery Guidelines and web-based “eManual”, comprehensive analysis of Texas General Services Commission processes in the mid-90s, a Project Manager Manual for Austin I.S.D. and a “legacy document” manual for the Texas GLO.

How long since YOUR last process tune-up?

Audit Support; Project Expenditures & Management AuditsDo you perform or outsource GMP Audits? Is your organization under audit oversight? What’s your STRATEGY for these distinct audit forms?Mr. Scott developed the GMP Audit approach at UT System and responded to Management Audits for nearly a decade. He also performed a Cost Expenditure Review for a capital project for TSUS and worked directly with the State Auditor’s Office for process improvements at Texas GSC/TFC in the mid-90s.

Consider the benefit of an internal “pre-audit” review to prepare your team for future formal audits!

Contract & Document Alignment & Standard Specs

When did you last perform an alignment check across your various documents? Do their requirements match your process steps, or even each other? Are your Division 1 Administrative Specifications crafted by an outside Architect? If so, these most likely do not align with contracts!

Consider performing either a “key-process” alignment analysis or a comprehensive review; you may be surprised at what you find!

Crafting Effective Solicitations & Proposals

Experienced in crafting UT System’s Best Value Solicitation & participated in over 150 selections as an Owner. As a Consultant, he has collaborated on response to > 40 RFPs.

For Owners: Strategy & Criteria for getting what you want, having “apples to apples” evaluations and being able to support / defend your determination of best value.

For Consultants: Proposal & Interview Strategies with an “owner-view” insight providing candid review comments.

“Stan didn't question or try to adjust the "intent" of our message, which was especially refreshing, but he was able to readily identify several areas where our message was either not uniformly consistent or not as tightly aligned with adjacent charts or diagrams as we had thought. It was a reminder to us that an independent "outside" view of any process or document is often useful, but his perspective from the project owner's view of proposal evaluations was especially valuable.” (Keith Douglas, SVP, Whiting Turner Construction; 11/2014)
