There are numerous functions and events planned and executed to achieve different ends. The execution of successful events hinges largely on the planning aspect. Rash planning inevitably results in poor organisation and unremarkable events. There are many impediments to successful functions and events. In this article, find some of the most common barriers to successful events.
Personnel Barriers
Successful events demand closely-knit teams working together in close collaboration. Both simple and complex functions require a certain level of attention to detail. Leaving the planning to a sole individual may be overwhelming. It is advisable to create working teams and assign different aspects of planning to a particular individual. The personnel will then meet up to compare notes and record progress or lack of it.
Poor Choice of Venue
The venue is an essential aspect in the planning of functions and events. The nature of the event will determine the appropriate site. For live performances that are likely to attract huge numbers, a small venue may not be ideal. However, for small concerts and performances, local bars and restaurants may just about serve the purpose.
Financial Constraints
Successful functions and events require a substantial amount of financial resources. Money is necessary to pay for the venue, staff remuneration, pay artists and other essential expenses. Financial shortfall will affect some or all these aspects resulting in unremarkable functions and events. Organisers may need to pitch to sponsors to meet all the financial obligations.
Planning Multiple Functions
Planning multiple functions is all good if one is well versed in multitasking. A single event is strenuous but having to plan and execute numerous tasks is even more daunting. Whereas the rewards of multiple events are desirable, the risks and cost may be too much to bear. It is, therefore, advisable to only plan and execute various functions if skills and resources allow it.
