Evaluate Immediately! It is important to do your evaluation/assessment of the event while the details are fresh in your mind. Include anyone in the evaluation process that had a stake in the event. Stakeholders would include vendors, hired staff, volunteers and employers. You could host a debriefing session or a wrap up meeting to accomplish this task. Make this a pleasant experience. Include refreshments and lots of kudos (thank you’s for a job well done). Prior to, or when the meeting begins, enlist a “scribe” to record the comments and answers from the group. Ask yourself and them the following questions:

· Did the event fulfill the goals and objectives set forth?

· What worked? What didn’t? What would you do differently? The same?

· Did the event run smoothly and on schedule?

· Which vendors/stakeholders should be hired/recruited again?

· Were any items missing from the checklist that should be included in future events?

· Did you generate favorable publicity for the event?

· How was attendance? Were the attendance goals achieved?

· Did you receive positive feedback from those who attended? Did you use formal (written, documented forms or one on one surveys) or informal (chatting in the restrooms, lines, seminars, etc.) methods of evaluation?

· What could you do differently, better to reach your goals? To involve more people? To spread the word about the event?

· Was the event worth doing? What were some of the benefits? Would you do it again?

Encourage alternative forms of feedback from those unable to attend, such as via e-mail, website and fax back forms. Once you have received feedback from the group, have the notes transcribed for distribution to all the stakeholders (clients). Be sure to include this in the event portfolio for future reference. Proper evaluating of the event will lead to even greater success in the future. In fact, it is important to evaluate all aspects of business from time to time. Otherwise, how and when would you know what needs to be improved? One final thought; make sure you get feedback from attendees. And here’s a key question to ask, especially if it is an event that is open to the public: How did you hear about this event?

1. The Significance of the Mundane
This article begins with a tip of the hat to a scholarly publication called the Journal of Mundane Behavior. Unlike other publications, which herald important issues, this one trumpets everyday, but rarely noticed, behaviors. It sees what the rest of us overlook because that stuff is so, well, mundane (my dictionary defines 'mundane' as being ordinary or common).For example, I just read an article in the Journal about beards and shaving, one that interests me because I've had a beard for almost …

2. Solve Problems Permanently - Ask WHY By Martin Haworth
As Albert Einstein said:-"The significant problems we face today, cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."Problems don't go away unless you get to the cause - the source of them. Repeatedly 'fixing' issues that arise takes a physical and mental toll on you and your team. The key is to solve problems once and for all and move on.Picture this scenario:-Luke runs a small engineering factory, making electronic tagging systems for retailers. His business…

4. Sales Compensation: Creating Performance Clarity
A prospective client called several days ago and asked: 'What should I pay a great performer and what should I pay a salesperson who doesn't meet expectations?' Assessing sales compensation effectiveness from the perspective of expected market pay levels is far too limiting. Sales compensation should be evaluated within the context of the entire performance and pay range for the job performed and results delivered. Furthermore, sales compensation plans and pay levels should be created or critiqu…
