Goal Setting

Whether you have decided to do a meeting with 25 people or a convention with 25,000 people you need to determine the goal or the purpose for having the event. In my opinion, once you determine the goal other parts of the process fall into place.

For example: A non-profit organization wants to have a fundraising concert to raise funds. Since the goal is to raise funds, the first thing that needs to be determined is how much money they would like to raise from that concert. That will determine everything from ticket price to the artist they want to have perform the concert. If the goal of a meeting would be a brainstorming session to develop the next new product for your company then you needs would range from a comfortable setting to the people who you would have at the session.

Once you have the goal, share it is with everyone involved.

That’s the Planner’s Pointer for today.
