2.1 Research
Validity
Reliability
Primarily confirm that your research measure what it
purports to measure .
For example : If you were to conduct the same study
with another group of senior citizens, would the answer
be significantly different?

2.1 Research
Validity
Reliability
Helps prove that your research will remain truthful &
accurate over time
For example : If you are trying to determine if senior
citizen will attend an event, you must include senior
citizen in your sample of respondents to ensure validity

BRAINSTORMING & MIND MAPPING
Creativity is an essential ingredient in every event management process.
Mind-mapping is an effective way to synthesize the various ideas suggested by
group members and begin to construct an event philosophy. It also allow you to
sift through the ideas carefully show how they support the goals of the event.
The Event Leader is the facilitator of the meeting.

Rule 1 : There Are No Bad Ideas
Rule 2 : Go Back And Reread Rule 1
Conduct a meeting where creative people are encourages to
brainstorm the various elements of the event.
Place an object in the corner of the table and invite participants to
describe what it might become
Members should be given simple suggestions regarding the why of the
event.

Participant are encourage to provide creative idea for who, when,

link them to the five Ws, ultimately help you to see how the event
should be developed.

Feasibility means that you have looked at the event design objectively
to determine if what you propose is practical given the resources
available.
Three basic resources that will be required to
consider when planning an event :
 Financial
 Human
 Political
WHAT IS FEASIBILITY?

of 35
1st Approval of event time
2nd Select venue to match time restrictions space
3rd Process must match time frame tempo
4th Event dates

of 35
Timing
 Refers to how much time you have in which to act or react.
 The length of time available for planning and for actual production will
dramatically affect the cost and sometimes the success of the event.
 Budgeting time must estimate the amount of time necessary for pre-event
client meetings, site inspections, meeting with vendors, ongoing
communications and contract preparations, actual event time from time of
arrival through departure and post event billable time.

of 35
Space
 Is the physical space where an event will be held and the time between critical
decisions pertaining to the event.
 The relationship of timing to space is one that is constant throughout the entire
event process.

of 35
Tempo
 The rate or tempo at which events take place during both production
planning and the event itself
 Manage the rate at which task will be completed and events will occur, it is
important to consider if each action is being performed at the best time.

2.3 Coordination: Executing the Plan
Six Steps Effective Way To Make Decision
Collect all the information. Most problems have many sides to review.

EVALUATION

of 35
The Form Of Event Evaluation
Written Survey
• Conducted immediately following the event, to identify the satisfaction
level of the participants and spectators.
• Prohibits respondent from digesting the total event experience before
providing feedback.
Monitors
• A monitor is a trained person who will observe an element of the event
and provide both written and verbal feedback to the event planner.
• The event monitor usually has checklist or survey to complete and will
then offer additional comment as required.
The telephone or mail survey conducted after the event
• The event planner survey the spectators and participants after the event.
• Event leader able to glean from the respondents how their attitudes have
changed and develop after some time has passed since participating in the
event.

The core values of the EMBOK framework are values that permeate all aspects of
the event management process
Synergy: linking administration, coordination, marketing, and risk
management.
Example;
 Walt Disney Company was the only organization of its size and type with an
executive board position titled vice president for corporate synergy.
 Disney product line such as theme parks, retail stores, movies, recordings, sport,
television.
 These resources include your ability to administrate, coordinate, market and
manage the risk for the event.

The Processes
 Assessment is defined as a two-step process of first identification then analysis.
 Selection is the decision-making point, choosing the methods or tactics deemed
most likely to achieve the goal or objective.
 Monitoring includes the regimented and planned tracking of the progress,
status, or conditions of the tactic selected.
 Documentation includes the recording, reporting, maintaining, and archiving of
assessments, analyses, response plans, monitoring and control results, and
other records and documents.
 Communication is a vital component of the process system, which includes
timely information acquisition and distribution plus the appropriate
consultation in decision-making.

of 35
The Phases
 Initiation is the phase in which research is conducted and the concept is defined
and validated.
 Planning is the phase wherein the requirements and specifications for the event
project are determined, and specifying the activities that will occur.
 Implementation is the phase when all the goods and services are contracted and
coordinated, synchronizing all the operational and logistical requirements of an
event project.
 The Event is set apart from Implementation as a distinct phase because a
different and dynamic approach is required once the production begins.
 Closure is the phase in which the event production is shut down, dismantled,
and contractual obligations completed.

of 35
The Core Values
 Creativity is regarded as essential for producing innovative and imaginative
solutions.
 Strategic Thinking is the ability to view and align an individual project’s needs
and methods within the entirety of an enterprise’s short- and long-term goals.
 Continuous Improvement is on the continuous and proactive improvement of all
procedures, systems, and, it is thereby presumed, the results, rather than
relying on reaction-driven planning.
 Ethics encompass the judgments and choices made and the actions taken that
reflect and enact beliefs of what is right versus wrong.
 Integration reflects the critical need to coordinate, synchronize, and merge the
variety and multitude of interactions.

of 35
The Knowledge Domains and Functional Areas
 The Administration domain deals primarily with the proper allocation, direction,
and control of the resources used in an event project.
 The Design domain focuses on the artistic interpretation and expression of the
goals and objectives of the event project and its experiential dimensions.
 The Marketing domain addresses the functions that facilitate business
development, cultivate economic and political support, and shape the image and
value of the event project.
 The Operations domain concentrates on the people, products, and services that
will be brought together on-site to produce the event project, as well as the
roles, responsibilities, applications, and maneuvers associated with each.
 The Risk domain deals with the protective obligations, opportunities, and
legalities traditionally associated with any enterprise, including an event
project.
