Operational risk management is nowadays considered as crucial in the management of any organization. In a complex world, it is necessary to control the threats facing the company to ensure its stability, minimize its losses and protect its image. 
The purpose of my project thesis is to raise awareness of operational risk management among all employees of a recognised Belgian ready-to-wear SME, J&JOY. The analysis presented is a snapshot of the situation encountered during the internship from January to May. As risks are constantly evolving, the proposals will have to be continuously adapted to the new realities facing the company. 
First, the company's processes are mapped to better understand the possible origins of threats in daily activities. The second step lists the risks by department using a double taxonomy. The third part of the analysis is devoted to prioritizing the risks identified by assessing their criticality both in terms of their probability and their impact. Finally, practical recommendations are proposed to enable J&JOY to control the risks assessed as critical against the backdrop of the risk treatments provided for in Prince 2. 
A risk management program requires that the company has relevant information and an effective communication system. The data collected must be transmitted to internal actors so that they can meet their responsibilities. Communication must allow everyone to understand what is expected of them. The establishment of a formal risk management monitoring procedure is necessary to ensure that the actions planned are effective and efficient. The measures decided upon will have no effect if the internal actors do not adhere to them. 
Risk management is a permanent process that must be applied throughout the company. It must be implemented by all levels of the organization. A corporate culture that facilitates communication around failures and focuses on customer satisfaction can contribute to this common focus. Management should facilitate discussion of risks rather than scanning for uncertainties or failure signals.

This book brings together recent research related to urban resilience, in particular, taking into account climate change impacts and hydrological hazards. Due to the complexity of our cities, which are vulnerable and continuously evolving systems, urban resilience should be considered as a transversal and multi-sectorial issue, affecting different urban services, several hazards, and all the steps of the risk management cycle. Within this context, the different pieces of research that form this book deal with the topics of multi-risk and urban resilience assessment, analysis of cascading effects, and the proposal and prioritization of adaptation measures and strategies to cope with climate-related hazards through multi-criteria analysis.

The Life cycle cost (LCC) method makes it possible for the whole life performance of buildings and other structures to be optimized. The introduction of the idea of thinking in terms of a building life cycle resulted in the need to use appropriate tools and techniques for assessing and analyzing costs throughout the life cycle of the building. Traditionally, estimates of LCC have been calculated based on historical analysis of data and have used deterministic models. The concepts of probability theory can also be applied to life cycle costing, treating the costs and timings as a stochastic process. If any subjectivity is introduced into the estimates, then the uncertainty cannot be handled using the probability theory alone. The theory of fuzzy sets is a valuable tool for handling such uncertainties. In this Special Issue, a collection of 11 contributions provide an updated overview of the approaches for estimating the life cycle cost of buildings.

This Book is a Printed Edition of the Special Issue which covers sustainability as an emerging requirement in the fields of construction management, project management and engineering. We invited authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research articles that address the challenges and opportunities for sustainable construction in all its facets, including technical topics and specific operational or procedural solutions, as well as strategic approaches aimed at the project, company or industry level. Central to developments are smart technologies and sophisticated decision-making mechanisms that augment sustainable outcomes. The Special Issue was received with great interest by the research community and attracted a high number of submissions. The selection process sought to balance the inclusion of a broad representative spread of topics against research quality, with editors and reviewers settling on thirty-three articles for publication. The Editors invite all participating researchers and those interested in sustainable construction engineering and management to read the summary of the Special Issue and of course to access the full-text articles provided in the Book for deeper analyses.
