THE EVENT PLANNING RECIPE FOR SUCCESS AND HUMAN RELATIONS APPROACH

THE EVENT PLANNING RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

• In this article, it explains the different ways to create a

successful event planning business.

• Some of the ways are: misunderstanding your client’s

requirements, poor choice of vendors or site, lack of

coordination between you and your team, inaccurate

estimates, inadequate control of costs, poor cash flow,

inadequate insurance, poor customer service… (The

Event Planning Recipe for Success)


• Continuation: “Recipe for success, stay calm, create good

energy at every event, acquire professional training,

provide the service you say you will, concentrate on the

type of planning you do best, create a reliable team

around you, try to be one step ahead, and expect the

unexpected, and make your clients happy.” (The Event

Planning Recipe for Success)


• Misunderstanding your clients requirements: “Remember that

you need to know all your client’s requirements in detail before

you can arrange a successful event.” (The Event Planning Recipe

for Success)

• Poor choice of vendors or site: Even if the vendors do not do

well, it is on you as the event planner

• Lack of coordination between you and your team: “Make sure

you have a cooperative, ‘well-oiled’ team (employees, vendors,

and temporary staff) around you and that everyone

understands their respective roles in the production of the

event. Your only as good as your weakest link.” (The Event


• Inaccurate Estimates: Keep the costs accurate

• Poor customer service: “The complete deal breaker is poor service”

(The Event Planning Recipe for Success)

• The article explains that one of the big ways to create a successful

event is to “make your clients happy”. (The Event Planning Recipe for

Success)

• “Developing a strong customer base, paying close attention to

clients’ needs, finding a niche, and coping with a changing economy

are all proven ways to keep a business successful and out of financial

difficulty”. (The Event Planning Recipe for Success)

HUMAN RELATIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS TODAY

• In our conversations in class, we talk about:

• “Human relations ideas seen in attitude of management toward

employees”

• “Human relations principles seen in job design; task design of

higher-order needs that increase autonomy, variety, and task

significance.”

HUMAN RELATIONS AND EVENT PLANNING

•With event planning, like the article says, you have to

be a team. The whole team has to be in sync with each

other and delegate well. If not, the event will not go

the way it needs to and you will lose customers.

•Designing a team with the human relations approach

will create the best customer service

QUESTIONS

• If event planning companies didn’t go with the human relations

approach, would the problems snowball into a business failing?
