Information Planning and Management Services

This is your first time to attend a corporate or business convention. You are quite amazed at how everything goes so smoothly and efficiently. You just cannot imagine how many people come and go about the place, and yet everything appears to be in order without anything out of place. You notice that there are no people running back and forth to make sure that the guests in this part of the hall are okay while trying to oversee if the group at the other end is having a good time.

One good thing about business and corporate conventions is that these companies and business groups have the resources to plan conventions with hired help. And who are these hired helpers? For sure, they are not people who are also from the same company that is holding that convention. Don’t you dare imagine these corporate people trying to plan and prepare for a convention in advance while at the same time trying to run their huge companies and firms!

Convention and event planning services are offered by several companies for those people who are too busy or too wracked up to plan and prepare for a huge event. These services employ a relatively huge amount of manpower so as to guarantee an orderly yet remarkable event, such as a convention or meeting.

Companies offering convention event planning services take care of all the important details entailed by their clients for their events. The responsibility for many things and details are left in their hands: venue, decorations, invitations, publicity, food and drinks, reception, giveaways, souvenirs, music, and a whole lot more. And even during the day of the event itself, these convention event planning service people are in place so as to oversee that everything is working smoothly and as planned.

The structure’s virtual model can be used for collaboration with architects, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, civil engineers and other stake holders. This same 3D digital model can be integrated with design, analysis and construction documentation and is utilized as the basis for digital design-to-fabrication planning and construction. Using Building Information Modeling structural engineers can track material quantities and investigate various design options that eventually result in a more sustainable design.

Visits to the service desk and data center may be necessary.   A checklist of questions is often used.  A maturity-based assessment would aim to determine the level of maturity of each ITIL processes. Other data to gather includes availability of tools, skills, organisation role and responsibilities, availability and quality of documentation, evidence of continual improvement, metrics and reports, circulation and usage of the reports.

Step 5: Analysis

Based on the responses to the questions gathered, the scores are tabulated using a spreadsheet tool and presented. A maturity-based assessment may use the 5-level ITSM maturity model to rate the individual process. Spider diagrams or bar charts can be used to compare current state with desired state and highlight key gaps and deficiency areas. Benchmarks with the maturity levels of other companies in same industries are useful and that is one advantage of engaging external consultants to perform the assessment instead of conducting a self assessment.   Gaps, issues, constraints should be identified as compared to the vision, mission, goals and objectives. The analysis should include highlighting potential risks to the quality and reliability of current service delivery.

Step 6: Action Planning

Having understood the current state versus the desired state and armed with the information obtained in the earlier steps, viable solution approaches would need to be identified, including products and services that are needed. An IT service improvement initiative may require multiple sub-projects to address what needs to be done at each step of way.  Each project should be defined with a possible project scope or charter, estimated time line and costs, products and services.

Step 7: Presentation

The presentation should not be a lengthy session to discuss the details of the assessment or findings. Instead, it should be a high level, executive presentation focusing on key pain-points uncovered, business implications and what are the recommended solutions and next steps. The desired outcome is to seek sponsorship and approval from the management team to proceed with service improvement action plans.

Step 8: Produce the Assessment Report

A formal assessment report should be produced. The aim of this report is to document the objectives of the assessment, key findings, issues uncovered and solutions proposed. This document is important as it serves as the baseline upon which comparisons of the “before” and “after” snapshots of the situation can be made subsequently.
