Practitioner Lecture: Project Risk Management

The Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI), Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) once again held a Practitioner Lecture on Saturday (November 22). On this occasion, the lecture carried the theme “Project Risk Management.” Industrial Engineering students from UII actively participated in the event, which forms an integral part of the learning process. Moreover, the lecture was conducted online via the Zoom Meeting platform, allowing broader student engagement.

In this practitioner lecture, the Industrial Engineering Study Program at UII welcomed Bintoro Wisnuputro as the guest speaker. He is an alumnus of Industrial Engineering UII who currently works as a Project Management Specialist. Throughout his professional career, Bintoro has managed a wide range of projects across various industries. Through his presentation, he encouraged students to understand project risk management not only from a theoretical perspective, but also through practical experiences encountered directly in the field.

The Relationship Between Projects and Risk

During his presentation, Bintoro explained that risk represents an inseparable element of any project. Therefore, every project requires careful and structured risk planning to ensure that project objectives can be achieved effectively and efficiently. In addition, he emphasized the importance of conducting early risk identification, followed by risk impact analysis, and ultimately selecting appropriate mitigation strategies.

“The key to project risk management is preparedness. Risks cannot always be avoided, but they can be managed effectively,” Bintoro stated.

Interactive Discussion Session

In addition to the main presentation, the organizing committee designed the event to be interactive. Towards the end of the session, an active discussion and question-and-answer segment took place. During this session, participants raised various questions, ranging from the implementation of risk registers, the role of project managers in risk control, to the challenges of risk management in modern projects.

Furthermore, the Industrial Engineering Study Program at UII regularly organizes practitioner lectures as part of its learning enhancement efforts. Through this activity, students not only study theoretical concepts in the classroom, but also gain direct insights from industry professionals. As a result, students are expected to better understand the practical application of their academic knowledge, while simultaneously recognizing the real challenges of the professional world.
