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.
You are required to produce a report for the Australian Olympics Management Committee
entitled:
“Risk Assessment of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games for the Australian National Athletics
Team”.
The project is sending the Australian athletics team to participate in the 2020 Tokyo
Summer Olympic Games, held from 24 July 2020 to 9 August 2020 in Tokyo, Japan. It is
important that both negative as well as positive risk events/conditions be identified and
evaluated.
The assignment should be completed in two parts. This first element is Part 1: Risk
Management Data collection (worth 30%). For this first assignment you are required to
collect data in respect of the risks facing the Australian Athletics team with specific
relevance to the Tokyo Olympic Games. Collect data that refers to this event taking into
account the risks outlined in the case study referred to above as well as others that you can
justify for consideration.
