Assume Nothing When Planning a Major Event
Release Date: 04/ 09/ 2002
When coordinating an important event, you can never assume that everyone will complete their tasks accurately and on time without your checking, double-checking and sometimes even triple-checking to make sure everything is on schedule. In today's Workshop, Jeffrey Moses explains how to make sure things get done--without ruffling feathers.

A catering business is a good example of a business that constantly needs to coordinate large numbers of diverse activities. Think of the last time you went to a large, catered wedding. If the event went smoothly, it was the result of dozens or perhaps hundreds of separate events and projects, all coordinated to be completed simultaneously. The result is that the catering staff walks in calmly, right on time, with trays of food ready to go.

How do catering pros accomplish this coordination? The guidelines can serve as a model for coordinating activities in almost every type of business.

Most important is designating one person to be in charge of coordinating all other staff members and outside vendors. Several people may be in charge, but the ultimate responsibility needs to be on one person's shoulders. This person first needs to plan every aspect of the project, putting all details and timelines in writing. These written plans need to be distributed to each person, team or vendor involved. The person in charge needs to review the details with each person so that everyone understands exactly what they will be doing and when they need to be finished.

It's not enough to review what needs to be done with a person, and then assume that the person will complete the project on time. The person in charge should follow-up with each person at least twice, with the first check up taking place a few days after the initial meeting and the second one taking place a few days before the deadline. The second check-up should give everyone enough time to correct errors without delaying the ultimate time schedule.

Good managers should remind their employees that while they might continually follow up with them about their progress, it doesn't reflect their lack of confidence in the employee. Following these guidelines can help take a tremendous burden off your shoulders and make a nerve-racking project move ahead smoothly.

LadyJane No wonder my ears have been ringing ALL day.

Since when am I in charge??? Okay....I volunteered. Who else could handle this group of maniacs?? Besides, I'm an A list poster on all three Boards involved (see RO/The Couch and Shidoobee) and as far as I know have no ENEMIES!!

Look....I'm staying in Times Square....and I'm not in the mood to travel far.

Gypsy and I will be in NYC on the 18th....and I ASSURE you, our gathering will be CLOSE to the venue.

We need an NYC recon team....some place close to MSG AND Walters. We MUST visit our Shidoobee friends and vice versa.

Developing..............................

glencar LJ, I'm sorry if it seems I forced you into it. The new Hard Rock Cafe is in Times Square but if it's more than just us ROers then I think we need to take over a bar. The Shidooooobbbbbeeeeeans are probably committed to Walter's but that place is too small for everyone. You can't really talk to people & while I have been known to frequent dumps, that place is a bit too dumpy. I will look around a bit but I'm not sure how often I'll be in Manhattan before the big event.

LadyJane No problem....I'm happy to do it...but it's hard to find the perfect spot from Buffalo.

WE'll work it out.....

jb This must be handled very carefully with fine attention to every detail. Everything, from food selection to napkins must be approved by me...............We expect this to be the event of events-the summitt of summitts, and nothing less than perfection will be tolerated, If I am not satisfied with even one aspect(i.e. decor of room) I shall not attend. Whomever choses to handle this faces great pressure and responsibilities........hundreds of people are counting on my presence..........one slip up, and I walk!!!
