Assignment 8
Briefly describe the INTER-CONNECTIVENESS between the five functions of event management.
The five functions of event management are the following; planning, human relations, catering and food services, marketing and fundraising and there is an obvious inter – connectiveness between these.
If we look in to the breakdown of each major function we will see that each one shows similarities these similarities are the characteristics required to achieve the functions goals.
Such as being organized, without this skill the functions are sure to fail because this plays a key part in ensuring there is a smooth running process when going through each individual function. For instance in the planning function if one was not organized the planning process would not be completed in detail or to a sufficient standard. Also it’s so much easier meeting deadlines when you know exactly when they are, what has to be done, and by whom. People with strong organizational skills have an updated calendar and to-do list on them at all times. I know I couldn’t function without all of my task lists and calendar reminders! They’re a life saver for hitting deadlines and staying on top of multiple projects. These are the things that make an event successful.
A secondary similarity between the functions would be the need to be social. If one is social they can benefit from brining other peoples advice on board. This could be used in each separate function such as one might speak to people with a marketing background to get advice on how best to market an event.
