Introduction
It is recommended to complete this introduction paragraph(s) last. Using full sentences and paragraphs to briefly introduce and summarize contents of this paper. Note that the introduction changes for each UrRISK project!
A) Purpose
Pick and describe a real location (e.g., Atherton Hotel) that can either be visited in person, or by photograph/video. Indicate a fictitious name and credible title of the protector that has “hired” your team as a consultant to conduct the risk assessment.
Explain why this risk assessment is important. From the literature that provides the information you CITE, quantify the importance of the risk assessment (i.e., use data, such as number of hotel rooms, number of guests, annual revenue).
It is often easier to select a familiar point of view, such as hotel guest. Hotel Manager might be more difficult.
B) Scope of the Risk Assessment
Specify what is within and not within the scope of your risk assessment.
Select a very narrow scope area that is supported by your literature (e.g., for topic “hotel,” scope area could be pest control in hotel guest rooms).
Also specify what is not within your scope statement. For example, reference the top level categories from the general enterprise risk map at http://bit.ly/1icMuln to indicate areas that are NOT within scope. If desired, you may include this image in your scope statement, or build your own image.
Figure 1 below should not be included in your submission. It is only included here to illustrate how to cross-reference a figure, and include a full caption on a figure!
