The Major Events Unit has accumulated extensive and valuable know-how through its involvement with the world's largest sporting events. And this knowledge is not only limited to the technology. For although the technology is used by all teams within the Unit and local Olympic organizing committee, for example the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), we have also gathered an in-depth understanding of the processes, risks, people and issues behind an event.

Our consultants are capable of using this knowledge to guide new organizing committees in the early days up to the closing ceremony of the event. Furthermore our consultants use proven methodologies and tools in their assessments and analysis of the issues that the organizing committee needs to tackle.

Many of the unit’s experts and members of the Core Team have been with the Major Events Unit since its formation for the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games project, and therefore have many years of experience to call upon.

The key members of the Beijing 2008 Core Team include: Philippe Germond, Patrick Adiba, Herbert Leung, Jeremy Hore, Michele Hyron, Jiang Sheng, Daniel Torres, Vladan Todorovic.
