A proposed framework for defining the relationship between complexity, project categorization, and project risk management: Case study of a medical company in Morocco.

Recent financial crises have highlighted the utmost importance of implementing risk management practices, as exemplified by the profound repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, we witnessed the rise of various initiatives within the medical sector, specifically in the fields of biomedicine, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals, across Africa, with a notable emphasis on Morocco. The government in Morocco has implemented measures to foster investment and encourage participation from companies and stakeholders. Taking into account an indeterminate and volatile future, it becomes imperative for organizations to establish robust risk management strategies to navigate successfully through these uncertainties. This research paper concentrates on the convergence of complexity, project categorization, and risks. We propose a novel approach to the implementation of the Risk Management Process, utilizing the Enterprise Risk Management framework. By establishing Risk Management rules within the context of a "complex" project, we observed enhanced performance and improved risk management through the holistic consideration of interdependencies rather than treating them as separate entities. Additionally, to substantiate this interdependency, we conducted a comparative analysis of the project's risk and complexity between 2020 and 2022.
