RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN Innova'ons Unlimited ME considers risk management as a cri'cal factor in the professional management of any event or the provision of any service. We work with our team on a constant basis for them to be aware of the cri'cal factors that can pose a poten'al risk to the project or to them. We have developed a structured process of iden'fying, evalua'ng and controlling risks in a way that will minimize organiza'onal losses and maximize opportuni'es. The management of risks is a step-‐by-‐step process where all the possibili'es of failures or problems are considered:
Step 3: Risk control
Different methods for iden'fying risks: • Reviewing wriSen informa'on • Mee'ng with stakeholders • Survey the venues • Conduc'ng a cause and effect analysis
Step 4: Review of risk control strategy
Step 1: Risk iden<fica<on
Step 2: Risk evalua<on
Once iden'fied, the risks are listed in order of importance with priori'es based on the likelihood of their occurrence and the severity of the consequences.
This is the actual risk management plan developed to control those risks in different ways and are listed in priority sequence bellow: • Cancel or avoid the risk • Diminish or control the risk • Reduce the consequences of the risk • Have back up plans in the event the risk poses a threat • Distribute the risk impact in different areas of the project avoiding single points of failure.
Develop risk management documenta'on to ensure that all staff are working towards the same cohesive corporate plan and are aware of the risks and procedures throughout the dura'on of the project and the lifecycle of the contract. Problems that are usually encountered in developing and providing event management services in Doha will be taken into account and special methods deployed to resolve will be planned.

Recently we were entrusted by the Qatar Museum Authority to manage the largest display of day 'me fireworks for leading Ar'st Cai Guo-‐Qiang and Fireworks by Grucci in making the “Black Ceremony” a reality.
