Description:
We can debate whether or not we are in a recession, but there is no doubt that organizations are focused on cutting labor costs. Why? Labor costs comprise 80 percent or more of an organization’s operating cost. Job security is the top concern within today’s workforce. Meeting and event departments are eliminated quickly because the value of what we do is not realized. Rather than focusing on procedural and maintenance issues, we will review strategies for aligning meeting and event strategy with organizational strategy. Participants will learn to make a strategic difference in better positioning their departments to meet their organizations’ current and future strategic challenges.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify strategies for showcasing your value.
2. Align meeting department strategy with organizational strategy.
3. Develop an action plan.
