report writing

Core Reference: “Risk Management in Major Sporting Events: A Participating National Olympic Team’s Perspective” (Hanstad, 2012) You are required to develop a report about project risk management as specified below. It should be constructed using the material contained in the paper with the above title published by Dag Vidar Hanstad in 2012 and any other information that you think is relevant. The case study above provides a discussion on how Norway’s national team prepared for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. In other words, it examines risk management from the participant’s perspectives and not that of the host. For this project, you are the risk consultant / risk manager for a national football (soccer) team of your choice. You decide your country (any country) and assume that you have qualified for the 2018 World Football Cup. You are required to produce a report for a National World Cup 2018 Football Cup Management Committee entitled: “Risk Assessment of the 2018 Football World Cup for the National Football Team”. The project is sending the national soccer team to participate in the 2018 World Football Cup, held from 14th June to 15th August 2018 in Russia ([login to view URL] ). It is important that both negative as well as positive risk events/conditions be identified and evaluated well in advance of the actual event, so that preparation on risk management can begin Report Layout This is a management report which will be assessed according to its usefulness to the organisation. The analysis needs to reflect the application of theory to practice. The business report should have the following content/headings: • Cover: title of report, to whom it is addressed, who has written it, date. • Background information: a brief overview of the project’s aim, deliverables, success criteria (half a page). • Executive summary: this summarise the total project. It is neither background information nor an introduction. By reading this summary, the executive is given an overview of the how the analysis was done (approach), what was covered (scope), and what were the main findings and recommendations. This section should be about one page long. • Recommendations: there should be 2-3 primary recommendations and a number of secondary recommendations for each primary one. Recommendations are derived from the analysis that was completed. They may cover how to organise your risk management as well as be efficient in how resources are applied. • Analysis: this is the risk analysis process and should follow the approach taught in the unit. It should cover the following topics: • Aim and Success Criteria for project • Risk Appetite and Tolerance of the organisation • Risk Breakdown Structure • Risk Probabilities applied • Risk Impacts applied • Risk Severity Matrix • Risk Responses • Risk Register: the final risk register (without the extensive research) • Limitations: this covers the shortcomings of the analysis carried out, i.e. information used, lack of time, etc.
