• Partnership Management

- FRD and SIC were motivated to learn the event and client business needs for

positive outcome

- The event process and detailed arrangement by Frontiers Group

managed the internal and external business expectation

- Due to the business relationship developed between Frontiers and FRD and

SIC, the insurance and car damage requirements and responsibility were

shared by all parties to limit the client risk.

- Frontiers Group and all suppliers for the event learned about

UBS brand production requirements.

- Event management staff of Frontiers Group invested in the detail

of the event so as to deliver quality results in production and

customer service management.

Delivery Standard Management

- Frontiers Group achieved consistent high standard of items under

same theme.

- Frontier Group understood the UBS brand image and corporate

culture positively through studying the business needs.

Frontiers Group Achievements

• Budget control
• - The management team of Frontiers Group retained experienced and
• quality suppliers to provide products and service for the event.
• - Budget control became important part of event management when the
• higher delivery standard and additional items and support were needed.
• - The planned package and several over-deliveries were accomplished by
• balancing the budgets for different items and controlling the expenses
• strictly.

Improvement and opportunities

• Production
• - The design ability of our production partner was not to our expectations and while their output standard was high, we believe this area needs improvement.
• - The transportation and temporary-hired on ground support team
• need to be trained to improve their service delivery.
• Work schedule
• - An agreed schedule to limit and shape the confirmation and
• preparation time would help to follow up and push forward the project
• management technically.

Improvement and opportunities

• Guest MC’s on bus
• - Frontiers recognise there was some initial confusion in the management of the first bus out to the track. This was rectified for subsequent tours, but in future a great deal more ‘hands-on’ direction should be given to UBS’s invited guests at the start of the day.
• Bus suppliers
• - Unusually, Frontiers encountered a negative attitude with a bus supplier, which caused some concern while en route. This supplier has been black-banned and will never be used for our events.

We are looking forward to working together with you in the future.

We appreciate your feedback to assist with our continuous improvement.
