Detailed Execution Strategy

1. Pre-Event Preparedness

Create an Issue Resolution Framework:

• Develop an On-Site Issue Resolution Protocol (OIRP) outlining:
  • Issue categories
  • Priority levels (Critical, Moderate, Low)
  • Assigned responders
  • Response and resolution timeframes

Establish a Central Command Post:

• Set up a dedicated Event Control Desk equipped with:
  • Walkie-talkies, tablets, or mobile phones
  • Event layout maps
  • Vendor contact lists
  • Technical support kits (cables, batteries, adapters)

Assign Response Teams:

• Designate issue response leads across major functional areas:
  • AV Tech Team
  • Logistics/Venue Operations
  • Guest Services & Registration
  • Catering/Vendor Liaison

Create a “Red Flag” Reporting System:

• Encourage all staff and volunteers to immediately flag and report issues to the command post via radio or messaging platforms.

2. Real-Time Issue Response Process

Tools Used:

• Issue Tracker Sheet (digital or printed)
• Mobile communication channels (WhatsApp group or two-way radios)
• Real-time dashboards (e.g., Google Sheets, Asana, Trello)

3. Escalation Protocol

• If an issue is not resolved within 20 minutes, escalate to:
  • Event Manager
  • Technical Director (for AV/tech)
  • Vendor Manager (for external service delays)
• Have backup systems and resources pre-approved:
  • Spare microphones and cables
  • Alternative rooms or breakout spaces
  • Extra signage or registration kits

Performance Metrics

Post-Event Follow-Up

Debrief and Report:

• Conduct a debrief with the event team to analyze issue resolution efficiency.
• Include issue resolution statistics in the Event Execution Report, such as:
  • Total number of issues
  • Types of issues
  • Average time to resolution
  • Lessons learned

Continuous Improvement:

• Update the On-Site Issue Resolution Protocol based on findings.
• Provide refresher training for response teams before future events.
