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 course of action when
these risks show up. 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 in a way
that these risks would not endanger the life of the enterprise. The planning process enables
technopreneurs to identify risks and then 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 do in order to curb, halt, slow down,
or avoid the effects of the risks identified?
5. Required Resources - In order 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?
