Client Challenges: No staff to dedicate to extra task of organizing an annual summit typically attracting over 200 people from throughout the state.
How idealORDER helped:
We created a master task analysis that showed the client everything that needed to be accomplished to implement a successful event. From the planning document, the client was able to select items that could be delegated to staff and volunteers.
idealORDER worked closely with the client, as the master coordinator of the planning and on-site manager of the event -- including site negotiations, speaker management, staffing on-site and evaluation, and follow-up.
2. FEDERAL-GOVERNMENT SPONSORED CONFERENCE
Organizing Challenges: Coordinated effort of multiple agencies on the federal, state and local levels and 350 participants from throughout the country.
How idealORDER helped:
This project required a strict plan of ongoing planning conference calls to involve the various planning groups/individuals in program development as well as determining the priorities of the sponsoring federal agency. An online planning site was established which allowed all parties to document and view progress in the preparation stage of the event. On-site, idealORDER served as the manager of the event, overseeing all aspects of logistics.
