Risk Management Plan
This paper is the risk management plan for the Environmental Quality International in Siwa project. It defines the management processes to be employed by the management of EQI and the project sponsor throughout the entire lifespan of the project. The Risk Management Plan, in this case, will be a responsibility of the project manager who will be in the charge of the review and maintenance of the plan throughout the life of the project. The reason for this is to ensure the risk process remains relevant and appropriate in being addressed especially the given the level of risk that this project face.
Overall, the focus is on the risk management plan for the Environmental Quality International project in Siwa oasis in Egypt as can be applied in the case study, “Environmental Quality International in Siwa” by Story and published by INSEAD. The risk management plan entails preparing the Scope and Objectives of the Risk Management Process based on the facts presented in the EQI in Siwa case study, determining the project size, based on the facts submitted in the EQI in Siwa case study, and provide justification based on the Project Sizing Tool provided. There is also a selection of the risk tools and techniques for use in the Risk Management Plan for both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the project. They are the development of the Risk Reviews and Reporting for the Risk Management Plan based on the determined project size, an overview of the Probability and Impacts section of the Risk Management Plan, and a definition of the Risk Thresholds section of the Risk Management Plan.
The Environmental Quality International in Siwa project has the following scope and objectives. Beginning with objectives, EQI’s project in Siwa aimed at ensuring that the customer information was protected by a more secure data system so as to guarantee an intact trust between the customers and the business. In particular, EQI’s project in Siwa provided for the insurance of the company becoming PCI compliant as well as the introduction of training strategies and communication and the security of the wireless inventory-control system. Overall, the project by EQI in Siwa had the objective of ensuring authenticity, staff background checks, and competency before accessing information (Pacetti, 2012).The scope of the Environmental Quality International’s project in Siwa was to demonstrate to how best to reduce or eradicate poverty in the society with the help of the local resources or avenues. This includes culture; the process ensuring the surrounding environment is safe, and intact for the betterment of the local community and the world at large (Norman, 2012). Specifically, EQI’s project is located deep in the heart of the community that needed help, which is the oasis of Siwa, Western Egypt. The part ...

Introduction
Construction and house project development involves multifaceted processes of several activities such as; renovations, leasing of existing lands, and purchase of lands and sell of developed land. The property development processes are essential to the success of the projects. Over time we have come across a number of property development and other large scale projects which have failed or undergone critical failures in different levels before completion. There are several reasons that have contributed to the failure of these projects. For a successful project, there is the need for developing a risk management plan which will highlight all risky areas of failure of the project. For instance, in this risk management will consider the Sydney Opera house project. The Sydney Opera House became and has been today a disastrous project coupled with multiple failures from the poor risk management especially in the project planning and assessment. This project seeks to determine the major risk management processes which could have been used by the project developers in the reduction of the risk which impacted the development of the Sydney Opera House.
Project Description
The Sydney Opera House is one of the iconic structures recognized in Australia and around the world (NSW, 2017). The project was contracted to architect Jorn Utzon from Denmark, who won the bid from the New South Wales government in 1957. The project began in 1959. The project had been divided into three separate stages consisting of the podium as the first stage, outer shells as the second stage and interiors plus windows as the third stage. Architect Utzon after being selected he presented the “Red Book” in early March 1958 which was a detailed report on the Sydney Opera House. The report consisted of the indications in part of the plans, reports from consultants, sections and other elements of the project (Utzon, 2002). The New South Wales governments were not worried about the financial burden of the project. The project report established that the architect was to complete the project in 1962 and its grand opening would have been in early 1963. The original budget of the project had been estimated of AUD 7 million. But the project ended costing more than AUD 102 million and 14 years to complete.
a) Project Objectives
The project considered a number of objectives focusing on the development of the Opera House and helping to meet the expectations of the community. The developer focused on creating an iconic structure for quality and style. The aim of the project developers was to create a structure which has value for the cultural representation of the community. It was also important for the New South Wales government opting to develop a functional opera house to serve and offer cultural interactions for the community(Phil, Harrington, & Par ...
The document outlines the Community Sustainability and Resiliency Special Initiative (CSR SI), which aims to facilitate sharing of urban environmental and societal data, information, and tools.

Funded by AGEDI, it is guided by Ecocity Builders' International Ecocity Framework. Citizens report observations using mobile apps or websites, with posts translated to maps identifying areas for improvement. The project aims to impact Brazil, Colombia, Egypt and Morocco over its timeline from 2013 to 2016.
This document summarizes a research study on risk management and successful project delivery in Nigeria. The study found that:
1) Risk management is key to successful project delivery by helping address uncertainties that can cause time and cost overruns and affect quality. Common risks in construction projects include poor quality, design errors, and financial risks.
2) The study identified risks that significantly impact project delivery in Nigeria, such as inadequate cash flow, corruption, security issues, and unstable exchange rates. These risks were found to affect project costs and timelines.
3) Risk management should be applied throughout the project life cycle from planning to construction. While risks can't be eliminated, identifying and managing them helps minimize their impacts and improve

Components of an IDS:
- Multiple healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, physicians) that are financially and clinically integrated
- Shared governance structure and common set of goals/objectives across organizations
- Centralized clinical and administrative services to coordinate care
- Emphasis on population health management through data sharing and preventative care programs
Benefits of an IDS:
- Increased coordination of care across settings which can improve quality outcomes
- Reduced duplication of services and ability to invest in expensive technologies/specialties
- Economies of scale that lower administrative costs per patient
- Centralized functions allow providers to focus on direct patient care

52 a risk-management_approach_to_a_successful_infrastructure_projectEng. Mohamed Muhumed
This document discusses the need for effective risk management across the entire life cycle of large infrastructure projects in order to avoid costly failures and overruns. It notes that poor risk assessment and allocation early in the planning process can lead to higher costs and delays later on. The document advocates taking a comprehensive risk management approach that considers risks at each stage of project initiation, financing, construction, and operation. It also emphasizes the importance of allocating risks to the parties best able to manage them and of involving private financing perspectives early in the development process.
EFFECTS OF RISK MANAGEMENT METHODS ON PROJECT PERFORMANCE IN RWANDAN CONSTRUC...Sibo Kanyambari Aimable
Risks are very common in construction sector. Risk is the Possibility of suffering loss and the impact on the involved parties. According to APM (2006), all projects are inherently risky because they are unique, constrained, complex, based on assumptions, and performed by people. As a result, project risk management methods must be built into the management of projects and should be used throughout the project lifecycle.
Many construction projects fail because organizations assume that all the projects would succeed and they therefore do not identify, analyze, and provide mitigation or contingencies for the risk elements involved in the project.
Society desires that all projects should be performing and has become less tolerant of failure (Edwards and Bowen, 2005). Pressure is exerted on project managers to minimize the chance of project failure. This increasing pressure for performance which suggests that it is prudent for anyone involved in a project to be concerned about the associated risks and how they can be effectively managed.
Traditionally, performance of a project is analyzed on the criteria of quality, budget and time of completion. Two more criteria to determine the performance of a project were added by Kerzner (2001). Firstly, the project would effectively and efficiently manage risks and, secondly, it should be accepted by the customer.
It is known that the cause of the projects failure can be directly related to the extent of risk management methods undertaken. Besides, the level of risk management methods undertaken during project lifecycle impacts directly on the performance or otherwise of the project. Furthermore, using risk management methods effectively to manage risk should be continuously undertaken throughout the project lifecycle to enhance project performance. Risk management methods are thus an important tool to cope with such substantial risks in projects performance.
The main objective of the enquiry work that underpins this research is to investigate the effect of risk management methods on project performance. In this paper, a case study of RSSB multi-storey already executed project is considered.
In June 2016, with the culmination of 18 months work by the the team from IIER, Imperial College, Future Earth Ltd and the Trust, we visited Accra to debut the WASH sector prototype of our modelling app at the Accra International Conference Centre, 22nd June 2016.

Effect or Risk Management Methods on project performance in Rwandan Construct...Sibo Kanyambari Aimable
This document provides an overview of a research project that aims to assess the effects of risk management methods on construction project performance in Rwanda. Specifically, it examines a multi-storey building project by the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB). The research design involves interviews and questionnaires with the project team to understand how risks were managed and their impact on project objectives. A literature review and analysis of RSSB project documents will also be conducted. The research seeks to evaluate how different risk management approaches like avoidance, control, retention and transfer influence project success. Findings may help identify barriers to effective risk management in the Rwandan construction industry.

The Identification of Risks and its Criticality in the Nigeria Construction I...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This document summarizes a study on identifying risks and their criticality in the Nigerian construction industry. A survey was conducted with construction professionals to identify 20 common risks, which were categorized into 5 groups: government/politics, management/technology, finance/economics, social/culture, and natural/environmental. The surveys found that economic and financial risks were considered the most severe in the Nigerian construction industry. Hierarchically, the risks were ranked from most to least severe as: economic/financial, government/political, management/technological, social/cultural, and natural/environmental.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

52 a risk-management_approach_to_a_successful_infrastructure_projectEng. Mohamed Muhumed
This document discusses the need for effective risk management across the entire life cycle of large infrastructure projects in order to avoid costly failures and overruns. It notes that poor risk assessment and allocation early in the planning process can lead to higher costs and delays later on. The document advocates taking a comprehensive risk management approach that considers risks at each stage of project initiation, financing, construction, and operation. It also emphasizes the importance of allocating risks to the parties best able to manage them and of involving private financing perspectives early in the development process.
EFFECTS OF RISK MANAGEMENT METHODS ON PROJECT PERFORMANCE IN RWANDAN CONSTRUC...Sibo Kanyambari Aimable
Risks are very common in construction sector. Risk is the Possibility of suffering loss and the impact on the involved parties. According to APM (2006), all projects are inherently risky because they are unique, constrained, complex, based on assumptions, and performed by people. As a result, project risk management methods must be built into the management of projects and should be used throughout the project lifecycle.
Many construction projects fail because organizations assume that all the projects would succeed and they therefore do not identify, analyze, and provide mitigation or contingencies for the risk elements involved in the project.
Society desires that all projects should be performing and has become less tolerant of failure (Edwards and Bowen, 2005). Pressure is exerted on project managers to minimize the chance of project failure. This increasing pressure for performance which suggests that it is prudent for anyone involved in a project to be concerned about the associated risks and how they can be effectively managed.
Traditionally, performance of a project is analyzed on the criteria of quality, budget and time of completion. Two more criteria to determine the performance of a project were added by Kerzner (2001). Firstly, the project would effectively and efficiently manage risks and, secondly, it should be accepted by the customer.
It is known that the cause of the projects failure can be directly related to the extent of risk management methods undertaken. Besides, the level of risk management methods undertaken during project lifecycle impacts directly on the performance or otherwise of the project. Furthermore, using risk management methods effectively to manage risk should be continuously undertaken throughout the project lifecycle to enhance project performance. Risk management methods are thus an important tool to cope with such substantial risks in projects performance.
The main objective of the enquiry work that underpins this research is to investigate the effect of risk management methods on project performance. In this paper, a case study of RSSB multi-storey already executed project is considered.
In June 2016, with the culmination of 18 months work by the the team from IIER, Imperial College, Future Earth Ltd and the Trust, we visited Accra to debut the WASH sector prototype of our modelling app at the Accra International Conference Centre, 22nd June 2016.

Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docxfelicidaddinwoodie
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

Developing a successful governance strategy
A Best Practice guide for decision makers in IT
The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has
created the Best Practice Series to capture and define best practice across the key aspects of
successful business.

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.
Keywords: Business Processes, Cost management, ABC method, Healthcare Institutions

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT
Whether you plan to apply for a business loan or not, you need to have a roadmap or plan to get you from where you are to the successful operation of your business. The pages that follow demonstrate the content of a simple business plan which has been found to be successful in obtaining startup funds from banks. You are encouraged to use all or whatever portions of this fit your business.
Please DO NOT write page after page of drivel or copy from someone else’s plan or one of those templates you can find on the Internet. In most cases this will not “sound" like you, nor will it be short and to the point. Those who read these things are busy people and will not be inclined to spend time reading irrelevant paperwork.
Throughout this sample, there are
italicized
comments which are meant to guide you in preparation. If you follow this format it is reasonable to expect a finished document with 15-20 pages plus the supporting documents in the last section.
If you have good quality pictures of your space, products or other items, you might include them as another way to convey just what you plan to do. A map of your location, diagram of floor space, or other illustration is also sometimes helpful. On the other hand, do not add materials simply to “bulk-up” the report.
While content is critical, it is also important to make this presentation look as good as possible. For this course, you will create the business plan in Word and submit the plan and all attachments through the Assignment drop box. That means all attachments have to be in digital form. For a bank loan or an investor, you would normally provide them with a print version. Print the pages in black ink on a high quality tinted letterhead paper. Color is not necessary but would add some interest in headlines, etc. Bind the document in a presentation folder or with a spiral binding. Don’t simply punch a staple in the upper left corner.
If your were going to pursue a bank loan or an investor, it would be normal to take this business plan to your SCORE counselor for a review and critique.
NOTE: Before you begin your inspection of the simple plan outline which follows, take a moment to review the Business Plan Checklist on the next page.
BUSINESS PLAN CHECKLIST
By way of review, here is a concise list of the basic requirements for a Business Plan, as recommended by the MIT Enterprise Forum:

Risk Management Plan
This paper is the risk management plan for the Environmental
Quality International in Siwa project. It defines the management
processes to be employed by the management of EQI and the
project sponsor throughout the entire lifespan of the project.
2. The Risk Management Plan, in this case, will be a responsibility
of the project manager who will be in the charge of the review
and maintenance of the plan throughout the life of the project.
The reason for this is to ensure the risk process remains relevant
and appropriate in being addressed especially the given the
level of risk that this project face.
Overall, the focus is on the risk management plan for the
Environmental Quality International project in Siwa oasis in
Egypt as can be applied in the case study, “Environmental
Quality International in Siwa” by Story and published by
INSEAD. The risk management plan entails preparing the Scope
and Objectives of the Risk Management Process based on the
facts presented in the EQI in Siwa case study, determining the
project size, based on the facts submitted in the EQI in Siwa
case study, and provide justification based on the Project
Sizing Tool provided. There is also a selection of the risk tools
and techniques for use in the Risk Management Plan for both
the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the project. They are
the development of the Risk Reviews and Reporting for the Risk
Management Plan based on the determined project size, an
overview of the Probability and Impacts section of the Risk
Management Plan, and a definition of the Risk Thresholds
section of the Risk Management Plan.
The Environmental Quality International in Siwa project has the
following scope and objectives. Beginning with objectives,
EQI’s project in Siwa aimed at ensuring that the customer
information was protected by a more secure data system so as to
guarantee an intact trust between the customers and the
business. In particular, EQI’s project in Siwa provided for the
insurance of the company becoming PCI compliant as well as
the introduction of training strategies and communication and
the security of the wireless inventory-control system. Overall,
the project by EQI in Siwa had the objective of ensuring
authenticity, staff background checks, and competency before
accessing information (Pacetti, 2012).The scope of the
Environmental Quality International’s project in Siwa was to
3. demonstrate to how best to reduce or eradicate poverty in the
society with the help of the local resources or avenues. This
includes culture; the process ensuring the surrounding
environment is safe, and intact for the betterment of the local
community and the world at large (Norman, 2012).
Specifically, EQI’s project is located deep in the heart of the
community that needed help, which is the oasis of Siwa,
Western Egypt. The particular area that that is project was
implemented had its structures comprising of an old-fashioned
swathe of olive and palm trees, natural springs, and salt lakes
surrounded by the sands of the Sahara, and a sizeable
population of 20,000 to 30,000 persons (Norman, 2012).
The project would be sustainable in the long run as it aimed at
preserving the local culture, heritage, and landscape in Siwa.
That is because the facilities were established in the traditional
style and design of palm logs and blocks from rock salt and mud
as well as some being built on the restored ruins of derelict
houses thus the idea of rebuilding the old towns of Siwa as a
way of promoting local heritage. Also, the project about the
creation of Siwa aimed at restoring a craft-art that was fading
from local reminiscence as well as job creation for the local
women. The goals were not only achieved in Siwa but also in
high-end outlets in Egypt, Italy, France, and England thus
ensured that the economy was preserved following the setting of
the wages for all workers and determination of the particular
industry to promote (Norman, 2012).
There was a scope that EQI managed to attain when it launched
the Siwa women’s Artisanship development initiative in 2001.
It was mainly about women empowerment and development-
ensuring self-sufficiency in the economy through provision of
home based business opportunities. This increased the
participation of the women from the local communities in the
success of the Siwa projects (Norman, 2012).
Scope and Objective for the Risk Management Process
The EQI in Siwa project risk management process has aimed at
managing the foreseeable risks of all types in a prop-active,
4. appropriate and efficient manner possible so as to ensure that
the project attains the set objectives and goals and at the same
time maintaining an acceptable level of risk exposure. That will
aim at engaging all the project stakeholders in an appropriate
manner thus creating ownership and buy-in top the project by
various stakeholders including the community around Siwa as
well as necessitating risk management actions. All the
information as a result of the risk management actions by the
relevant parties to the project will then be communicated to the
stakeholders at an ideal time so that if any change to the risk
management strategy touched on the risk at hand, can be
modified to incorporate the critical changes (Hillson, 2007).
That will make it easy for the project stakeholders to focus only
those project areas at risk and in the process identify the
potential risks with likely negative impact on the full
implementation of the project as scheduled or as expected. The
risk management products, in this case, will all be about the
undertakings in the entire project (Hillson, 2007).
In particular, the risk process will cover both the internal and
external risks to the project. One such risk identifiable form the
case study is the fact that the project was exposed to high price
for of local expertise and materials beyond the affordability of
the local population. That meant that it was only the foreigners
involved in the construction or building works that would use
the traditional local techniques, art, and materials but using
modern construction methods which are more economical to the
locals out to expand their homes. The risk is both internal and
external since the higher prices will mean that the cost of doing
or implementing the project will be higher. This requires more
effort in matters financial sourcing by the project sponsor and
the stakeholders for it to succeed as needed (Story, 2009).
The higher prices are caused by external factors, which are that
the select few will directly benefit from the project as they will
have the financial muscle to do than compared to a majority
locals with no such capability to participate in the project. That
will, in turn, affect the project goals and objectives which are to
5. uplift the local community in Siwa economically and Egypt as a
country. Therefore, the risk management process for this project
will focus on both external and internal risk facing the project.
Another example of an internal risk is the fact that the
introduction of indoor bathrooms and the digging of several
wells in all the new structures are likely to strain the water
supply in the entire locality. The impact of this will be a
scarcity of the much-needed resources, risking the successful
completion of the risk (Hillson, 2007).
Another external risk that the risk management process will be
addressing the fact that Egypt, as evident in the case study is
experiencing rising levels of urbanization in the country leading
to increased usage of the modern means of transport. That
means that the project will have to include elements of
infrastructural development more so roads and then go ahead to
train the locals who are part of the project on the need to adjust
to the new means of transport. That is because if the old
structures in the area are built, then they will serve as tourist
attraction centers which will prompt people from different parts
to the world to visit and the process, tourism will be only
beneficial to the fullest following efficient management of the
restoration of the cultural and traditional identity of Siwa. The
following table shows the types of risks that will be included in
the risk management process for the EQI project (Zwilling,
2014).
Determining Project Size
It is evident in the case study that EQI’s component projects of
Adrère Amellal Oasis, Shali Lodge and Albabenshal, Siwa
Creations, and Siwa Organic, which comprised of three hotels, a
line of embroidered products and traditional jewelry, and the
export of organic agriculture cost more than $1,360, 000. That
is because the information from the case study reveals that the
project attracted the attention of the International Finance
Corporation, which came on board as a critical stakeholder
given the organization provided $880,000 in loans and $486,000
in technical support (Story, 2009).
6. T he EQI projects in Siwa qualify to be classified as large given
that they could surpass the $5M mark. Apart from the financial
assistance from the International Finance Corporation, there are
other investments that EQI carried out that were entirely funded
by the organization with no help from stakeholders. This
includes Adrère Amellal Oasis that were quite expensive. EAs
evident from the project sizing tool below, EQI’s project is a
larger project.

Risk Tools and Techniques
The following are the risk tools and techniques I the risk
management plan for the EQI in Siwa project. The first one is
initiation in that this risk management plan would be issued at
the start of the project then will be reviewed at different stages
of the project as needed. The second tool will be risk
identification, which will be done with the help of methods such
as brainstorming, analysis of project assumption analysis, a
review of the project types list, and roundtable discussion on
the same. There will also be a probability and impact
assessment for all the identified risks using a specifically
defined project scale and the project-sizing tool. Finally, the
response tool would help in coming up with the appropriate
strategy for each of the identified project risks (Hillson, 2007).
Risk Review and Reporting
The EQI in Siwa project risk exposure will be reviewed as need
arises. That is, either daily, weekly, monthly or even quarterly
depending on the level of risk, throughout the project life. That
will play an essential role in identifying any emerging risks to
the project thereby making a determination of whether or not
the risk process approach tools should be changed or not.
Following any agreement by the project manager and the risk
champion, that will result in the risk management plan being
modified. Additionally, there will be a risk report at the end of
9. every week so as to help the project manager and risk champion
alongside the project team members and other stakeholders.
That will make it easy to identify possible risks at every stage
of the project implementation thus ensuring smooth
implementation of the project as scheduled (Hillson, 2007).

ASSESS ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS
Assess Organizational Readiness
Assess Organizational Readiness
The focus of this assignment is the analysis of the Critical
Success Factors (CSFs) as applied in the case study,
“Environmental Quality International in Siwa” by INSEAD’s
Jonathan Story. That is followed by the determination of the
organizational readiness, risk culture, and project benefits after
which three project risk recommendations will be presented and
the subsequent initial risk categories (RBS Level 1 and 2) based
on the case study using the Example Risk Checklist.
How the Critical Success Factors Apply
14. The absence of some factors in the organizations’ corporate risk
management program could increase the likelihood of the risk
management program failing and in the process significantly
increase the chance of success of the program. These factors
include the Critical Success Factors (CSF) which are unique
elements to every project. From this, the Critical Success
Factors can be said to determine the success of a business or
project thus; there is a likelihood of a business or project failing
if there is no application and elucidation of critical success
factors. In looking at the Environmental Quality International
(EQI) in Siwa case study, there are several key success factors
evident in the company including a supportive organizational
culture, supportive infrastructure and organizational objectives
and goals all of which were essential to the company’s success
(Zwilling, 2014).
The first critical success factor evident in the case study is that
of a supportive Organization in that the company President’s
personal project is in line with the mandate of the company for
promoting sustainable development. Additionally, Neamatalla
and his sister Laila played an influential role in the success
phases of the project as they did all they could apply to secured
loans and financing for the project. That included the use of
local staff in Egypt for the purpose of reducing the overall
project costs (Pacetti, 2012).
The second critical success factor in the Environmental Quality
International in Siwa case study is that there is necessary
support infrastructure in place that can make the organization
support any development. One such critical infrastructure
evident in this case study is that EQI loaned money to for
project finance thus facilitating continued development by the
company. Another evidence of availability of necessary
infrastructure is the company’s willingness to address problems
as they developed as in the case of mites in lumber and
improved wages for women workers (Pacetti, 2012).
With this infrastructure in place, the Siwa project turns out to
be of immense benefit in many ways. That is because before the
15. Siwa development project, EQI was working as a consulting
firm and that the moment it took project made that the
company’s foray into project execution, which in turn brought
about business opportunities. Also, EQI’s undertaking of Siwa
project was beneficial as it ideally fit EQI’s mandate to promote
sustainable development projects, a position that significantly
made it easier to sell the project to investors and other
stakeholders (Pacetti & International Conference on Urban
Regeneration and Sustainability, 2012).
The third critical success factor in the Siwa project by the
Environmental Quality International is the objectives and scope
of the project. EQI’s project in Siwa aimed at ensuring that the
customer information was protected by a more secure data
system as a way to guarantee an intact trust between the
customers and the business. In EQI’s case, the project provided
for the insurance of the company becoming PCI compliant as
well as the introduction of training strategies and
communication and the security of the wireless inventory-
control system. All these had the objective of ensuring
authenticity, staff background checks, and competency before
accessing information (Pacetti, 2012).
Regarding scope, EQI’s was out to illustrate the world in the
form of elaborating the critical ways for reducing poverty by
capitalizing on local culture and at the same time safeguarding
the environment. In particular, the exact location of the project
is the oasis of Siwa, in Western Egypt, which comprised of an
old-fashioned swathe of olive and palm trees, natural springs
and salt lakes surrounded by the sands of the Sahara as well as a
population of 20,000 to 30,000 people. The project would be
sustainable in the long run as it aimed at preserving the local
culture, heritage, and landscape in Siwa. That is because the
facilities were established in the traditional style and design of
palm logs and blocks from rock salt and mud as well as some
being built on the restored ruins of derelict houses thus the idea
of rebuilding the old towns of Siwa as a way of promoting local
heritage (Norman, 2012).
16. Additionally, the project of creating Siwa had the target of
restoring a craft-art that was fading from local reminiscence as
well as job creation for the local women. The goals were not
only achieved in Siwa but also in high-end outlets in Egypt,
Italy, France, and England thus ensured that the economy was
preserved following the setting of the wages for all workers and
determination of the particular industry to promote. That is how
EQI launched the Siwa women’s Artisanship development
initiative in 2001 so as to empower women and develop self-
sufficiency in the economy through provision of home based
business opportunities thus increasing the participation of the
women from the local communities in the success of the Siwa
projects (Norman, 2012).
Project Benefits, Organizational Readiness, and Risk Culture
The Siwa project was of significant benefit to the Egyptian
government including the increase of the number of the
stakeholders, which included the government itself, and other
states (Hillson, 2007). In particular, the launching of the Siwa
Environmental Amelioration project by the Egyptian
government in conjunction with Italian government in1988
contributed to the sustainable development of the Oasis. That is
because the initiative was based on the participatory approach
such as the inclusion of women in income generating activities
(Story, 2009).
The fact that women were part of the revenue generating
initiatives part of the project means that the whole project
befitted women in Siwa and its neighborhood since women from
the local communities got home based business opportunities
thus reducing the level of financial instability between men and
females. By doing so, the project managed to change the
conservative culture of Siwa as it was able to maintain the
heritage and culture of Siwa thus attracted visitors and in the
process improving the economic situation in the locality
(Hillson, 2007).
Also, the fact that EQI made several rules and regulations with
17. regards to the project, which immensely benefitted the culture
of Siwa as it promoted the heritage of Siwa hence creating a
sustainable environment in the locality by increasing heritage
and tourism. The business model of EQI was instrumental in the
success of Siwa project since it heavily targeted the economic
empowerment of women in the society as thus increasing the
conditions of the farmers. That was as a result of the company’s
model of buying crops from the farmers at approximately 50
percent more than the market price. That farmer significantly
benefitted from this as it removed liquidity, which was the
biggest obstacle thus attracting attention from the International
Finance Corporation (IFC) which provided funds towards the
same course (Story, 2009).
Three Project Risk Recommendations
According to INSEAD, there are significant vulnerabilities that
the project was exposed to, one of which was the high price for
of local expertise and materials beyond the affordability of the
local population. That meant that it was only the foreigners
involved in the construction or building works that would use
the traditional local techniques, art, and materials but using
modern construction methods which are more economical to the
locals out to expand their homes (Story, 2009). Secondly, the
introduction of indoor bathrooms and the digging of several
wells in the new buildings stress the supply of water thus
causing scarcely of resources (Hillson, 2007). Thirdly, there is
rising urbanization in the country leading to increased usage of
the modern machines such as motorcycles.
Following the above risk factors, there is the need for efficient
management of the restoration of the cultural and traditional
identity of Siwa and promotion of tourism in the area. That will
ensure the attainment of the desired organization objectives,
which can be as a result of exercising control over scarce
resources. That would call for a higher degree of assistance
from different organizations thus influencing a rise in the
project success.
