To end with a new start

This final chapter highlights briefly some of the main opinions and conclusions of this book. It starts with the soft systems or people aspects of ground risk management and is followed by the process of applying the GeoQ ground risk management framework, which combines the soft systems with the hard systems of technology. The last section of this chapter presents a brief outlook forward towards a prosperous construction industry, as perceived from a ground risk management perspective. I end with some last words.
