  • Stadiums Taskforce Report
    4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.

  • Managing Olympic Sport Organisations
    Managing Olympic Sport Organisations MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Editor Leigh Robinson 002 FOREWORD MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Foreword reinforce NOC structures and global management capacities, Olympic Solidarity offers educational training opportunities such as the Advanced Sport Management Courses (ASMC), of which Managing Olympic Sport Organisations is the base textbook. Through these courses, Olympic Solidarity supports the concept of a learning community in which NOCs’ main stakeholders – athletes, coaches, managers – learn from each other and interact in line with the objectives and interests of the Olympic Movement. Sport needs the expertise of well-educated and dedicated sports managers. This is why I encourage all those who delve into Managing Olympic Sport Organisations to study each of the topics with a view to strengthening the role of the Olympic Movement – and especially the role of the NOCs and their affiliated members. Everyone in the Olympic Movement has a shared responsibility to be as fully prepared as possible to shape the future of sport and build solidarity within our communities and around the world. This is even more true today. As this updated 003 version of Managing Olympic Sport Organisations goes to print, the world is in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertain times we are going More than ever before, sport is an essential part of through are a stark reminder that we need symbols our modern, diverse society – which is more global of hope and inspiration more than ever.
