Main Operations Center – Keeping the games on course

Observe it. Coordinate it. Manage it. Keep the Games on course.

Coordinating operations across venues can be difficult for any sporting event organizer, but it is often difficult to find more challenging environments than those in the Olympic world. Case in point: the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games (YOG) managed 14 different venues (several with multiple sporting facilities within each) in order to deliver events for 28 international sport federations in a time span of less than two weeks. How to manage so many events at the same time? Enter the Main Operations Center (MOC), with hi-tech communications tools connecting it with each of the Venue Operations Centers (VOCs) across the city, thus allowing the operational management team to observe, coordinate and efficiently lead multiple venues concurrently in the successful delivery of the 2014 Nanjing YOG.
