PERFORMANCE TASK
Instructions: Read the passages below. Together with your group, identify the risks involved in your technopreneurial enterprise. Print and fill out
the table to plan your action when these risks appear. Remember, one (1) table for one risk. You can have the table photocopied.
We all know that risks can come in different forms and could come internally or externally. A risk management plan or protocol is typically included
as part of a larger project plan, like a business plan, and is initiated early in the project lifecycle; the risk plan then evolves as the project progresses.
The overall goal of a risk management protocol or plan is to control risks so that these risks would not endanger the life of the enterprise. The
planning process enables technopreneurs to identify risks and create and document risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans. Once
completed, the plan will serve as a guide for everyone involved in the enterprise.
The table below will serve as a plan for your technopreneurial business idea. It contains the following areas:
3. Mitigation Response - How would your group lessen the impact of the risks?
4. Planned Actions - What are the steps you need to take to curb, halt, slow down, or avoid the effects of the risks identified?
5. Required Resources - To address the risks identified, do you need money, workforce, or help from external service providers?
6. Parties Responsible - Who will be responsible for addressing the risks? Will it be the whole enterprise? Will it only be the general manager?
Will it be the marketing manager?
7. Proposed Timeline - How long will you address the issues of your identified risk (it will all boil down to the weight of the risk)?
8. Monitoring Process - How will your group monitor the risks from not occurring again, or how will you be ready if these risks swing by
again?
