The Power of Strategy - How to take events to the next level!The fresh Group
Is event strategy the way to capture success?
In an industry that seems to move at a million miles an hour, we sometimes need to step back and take a more considered, planned approach to event creation.
An event underpinned by strategy will not only help to achieve brand ambitions, but is also key in helping make project ‘pinch points’ (like time and budget) much more efficient.
We wanted to explore how strategy is being used within the wider world of events, so on top of our own experience we carried out research, speaking to over 150 senior stakeholders across the events industry.
We wanted to understand the views and challenges facing clients, who are asked to deliver the widest range of events imaginable. This snapshot of opinion, when combined with our own experience, has provided an interesting reality check, revealing what many teams are coming up against when trying to deliver the most effective events.

Stop Pushing Sales! Focus on the Art and Science of Revenue Conversion Carpedia Consulting

He worked extensively with multiple internal and external teams to develop templates and assemble forms under tight deadlines.

Most companies do not fully utilize their existing resources and expertise due to these being spread across business units and geographies. This leads to overinvestment in some areas and underinvestment in others, resulting in 20-30% inefficiencies. Strategic capability mapping makes the depth and breadth of a company's resources and capabilities visible, allowing them to be better allocated. It identifies expertise gaps and opportunities for "borrowing" capabilities to improve efficiency and sales, save millions, and strengthen strategic planning. The presentation provides examples of capability mapping increasing sales by $300M and savings of $2-10M through better resource utilization.
