Discussion Board Week : Management Responsibility
Well, you have explored so many facets of the event planning business! With business projects or social events they all follow the same rules. You have planned your project, supervised staff, and assigned others to monitor different tasks from start to finish. In the business world, if and when you are given a project from your employer you will go through the same steps that you did on this project. You are/were the senior manager; it is your planning that brought the event to success because this just doesn’t happen by itself. Remember, in the real world you must keep your master plan, list out all the “to do” tasks step by step, so nothing is overlooked or forgotten. Just one little misstep and the entire project can fail.
