Roles and Skills of an Event Organiser
Unit 18: Managing a Business Event
P1: Describe the skills required of an event organiser
In this section of unit 18, I have been asked to produce a presentation which includes the required skills and the role of an event organiser. If the event organiser has the right skills and is aware of their role then the event will be a successful one.
Skills of an Event Organiser:
If an event organiser is aware of his or her skills and adapt has the ability to adapt those skills to the preparation of the event then they will be a successful event organiser. The required skills of an event organiser are such as the following: * Communication and Interpersonal skills * Time management * Problem solving * Negotiating * Planning * Monitoring * Evaluating * Resource management
Communication and Interpersonal skills
Communication and interpersonal skills play a big role when organising an event because communicating with others will come across quite a few times such as agreeing on the size of the venue, queries from the attendees or even when deciding on the number of people to cater for. Organising a large even can be quite challenging and using interpersonal skills can have a huge influence on how successful the event will be. For example, asking listening to what others are telling you will be an effective interpersonal skill to use because other people recognise mistakes before you and they can give you new ideas and can give advices on the areas you need improvement on.
Time Management
A role of an event organiser is to carry out a number of tasks at the same time which requires good time management. Good time management is when you keep everything on track. When planning an event we can come across with time management mistakes which are such as the following: * Wasting time doing activities which are irrelevant * Waiting for someone to complete a task before moving on to the next one * Not being organised
