DEVELOPING RISK MANAGEMENT MECHANISMS BASED ON DIGITAL PLATFORMS IN INTERNATIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This research investigates the enhancement of risk management mechanisms in international project management through the implementation of digital platforms. In the context of increasing globalization, international projects face complex, multi-layered risks, including financial, operational, technological, and geopolitical challenges. Traditional risk management approaches often fail to provide real-time monitoring and predictive capabilities, limiting the ability of project managers to respond effectively. Digital platforms, including cloud-based project management tools, advanced analytics, and integrated dashboards, offer a novel approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in complex international projects.

The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with project managers from multinational organizations and quantitative analysis of project performance data. The theoretical framework is grounded in internationally recognized standards, including ISO 31000, PMBOK, and PRINCE2, providing a structured basis for evaluating the effectiveness of digital risk management tools. The research also considers the integration of artificial intelligence for predictive risk assessment, although the focus remains on human-centered decision-making and platform-driven monitoring.

Findings suggest that digital platforms significantly improve the accuracy and timeliness of risk identification, enable proactive mitigation strategies, and enhance communication among geographically dispersed project teams. Moreover, the adoption of standardized digital risk frameworks aligns project practices with international requirements, increasing transparency and accountability. The research highlights the critical role of digital competencies among project managers, as insufficient digital literacy can undermine the benefits of technological integration.

This study contributes to the field of international project management by proposing an integrated model for digital risk management that combines platform capabilities with established standards. The outcomes offer practical recommendations for multinational organizations to optimize risk oversight, improve project resilience, and ensure sustainable project outcomes. Ultimately, this research provides a scientifically grounded framework for leveraging digital technologies to strengthen risk management in global project environments.
