Cost Overruns
The general consensus is that cost underestimation, also more commonly referred to as cost overrun, is prevalent, e.g.,. While it is acknowledged that cost overruns are a pervasive problem, the solutions presented are limited, and have attracted substantial attention in the media, with stakeholders, including the general public and academic scholars.

Asset Management
The international standard for asset management ISO55000 defines asset management as "coordinated activity of an organization to realize value from an asset". This standard requires establishing a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) for the organization’s achievement of goals (value), which includes response strategies for identifying, assessing, and controlling any possible risks that may occur during the goal achievement process. Goals and risks are important from the view of asset management as they provide the directions for management of the asset’s life-cycle and budget investment as the organization’s enterprise management policies. The International Infrastructure Management Manual (IIMM), developed to reflect ISO55000, divides the types of risks into the continuity of business management, safety, politics, law, finance, and cash flow, suggesting the quantitative evaluation method in the consideration of the Probability of Failure (POF) and Consequence of Failure (COF).

Laboratory Demand Management Strategies
Inappropriate laboratory test selection in the form of overutilization as well as underutilization frequently occurs despite available guidelines. There is broad approval among laboratory specialists as well as clinicians that demand management strategies are useful tools to avoid this issue. Most of these tools, which may be adopted to local settings, are based on automated algorithms or other types of machine learning. We believe that artificial intelligence may help to further improve these available tools.
