Estás supervisando el presupuesto de un evento deportivo. ¿Cómo puede prepararse para contratiempos financieros inesperados?

Start by conducting a thorough risk assessment. Identify areas where unexpected costs might arise, such as weather disruptions, equipment failures, or sudden changes in vendor prices. According to a report by the Project Management Institute, 83% of successful projects include comprehensive risk management plans. 📊🌧️ By pinpointing these risks early, you can develop contingency plans and allocate resources accordingly.

Dentro de um orçamento é importante que o planejador tenha sempre um nível de flexibilidade para: 1) remanejar uma verba orçamentária de um lugar para outro, e 2) acrescentar uma verba extra, para imprevistos futuros. Assim, o orçamento não fica engessado, e a busca pelo objetivo pode continuar.

Tighten your budget with strategic vendor contracts. By meticulously outlining payment terms, cancellation policies, and potential penalties, you can safeguard your sports event from unexpected costs. Flexibility is key; incorporating provisions for service adjustments can help weather financial storms. Building strong vendor relationships not only secures favorable terms but also creates a support network for challenging times.

Overseeing a sports event budget requires meticulous planning and preparation for unexpected financial setbacks. Create a contingency fund, typically 5-10% of the total budget, to cover unforeseen expenses. Negotiate flexible contracts with vendors to allow for adjustments or cancellations without significant penalties. Regularly monitor the budget and compare actual expenditures to projections to identify potential issues early. Purchase event insurance to cover risks such as weather-related disruptions or accidents. Diversify revenue streams through sponsorships, ticket sales, and merchandise. These steps ensure financial stability and resilience against unexpected challenges.

En un evento deportivo los ingresos vienen, fundamentalmente, de las inscripciones de los participantes o de las entrada adquiridas por los participantes. Apalancarse en estos dos conceptos es igual de importante que diversificar las vías de monetización. En este caso, el patrocinio, el apoyo institucional, los servicios complementarios, como restauración y bebida, la oferta paralela, como actividades de entretenimiento u ocio, y los acuerdos con terceros, como restaurantes, hoteles, etc. pueden ser opciones muy valiosas. El objetivo debería ser no depender excesivamente de ninguna de estas fuentes de ingresos. Si por cualquier eventualidad algo no funciona de la forma esperada, se puede llegar a cubrir con otra partida presupuestaria.
