Exercise 14.3: Overseeing Program Arrangements
| What Was Good About the Arrangements | What Problems Were There | How Could They Be Improved |
| Meeting Rooms: Spacious, culturally inspiring, and welcoming. | Room acoustics caused slight echoing during discussions. | Use portable soundproof dividers or invest in a microphone system. |
| Meals & Breaks: Lunch featured culturally diverse menu items. | Coffee station ran out mid-morning. | Increase quantity based on participant count. |
| ADA Compliance: Fully met, including accessible seating and materials. | NA | Maintain current standards. |
| Equipment: High-quality projector and clear sound system. | Setup took longer than expected. | Arrive earlier to set up and test equipment. |
| Program Schedule: Well-paced with breaks for networking and reflection. | Afternoon session ran slightly over time. | Add a time buffer to account for interactive activities. |
Handling Problems Before, During, and After the Program
2a: Anticipated Problems and Solutions
| Stage | Problem | Solution |
| Before | Limited registrations from smaller salons. | Offer early-bird discounts and group rates for teams. |
| During | Participants feel shy about engaging. | Start with icebreakers that celebrate diversity and encourage sharing. |
| After | Low response rate to feedback requests. | Provide an incentive, such as a $10 gift card, for completing the survey. |
Example Problem Addressed in a Past Event (Optional):
Problem: Late arrivals disrupted the flow of a past training program.
Solution: Begin the session with a brief networking period to allow flexibility while minimizing disruption.
