A Corporate Event Should Have Clear Objectives Which Should Be Obvious To Everyone Within The Team.


This Ensures Targeted Team Cohesion In Achieving The Goals Of The Event.



Why Use SMART Objectives For Corporate Events?

A Corporate Event Should Have Clear Objectives Which Should Be Obvious To Everyone Within The Team To Ensure Targeted Team Cohesion In Achieving Them.

When objectives are set this eliminates ambiguity and everyone will know these without having to ask any questions.

Where a Corporate Event is being staged on behalf of a client there will be a reason why the Event is being putting together and the objectives should be set with the client’s goals in mind. 

The Objective of the Corporate Event will be to reach a desired outcome, there may be just one Objective for the Corporate Event or there may be more. Try to keep things simple by not working to a huge list otherwise things will not be achievable!

It might that a Corporate Event has been put together to “attract new customers” and to “increase sales” or an event could be an internal promotional activity to “boost staff morale” but many extra sales are you hoping to achieve and how will you know if staff morale has been boosted?

An objective to simply “increase sales” is not particularly helpful as this does not identify how much additional sales revenue or what % increase to sales revenue would be sufficient on completion of the event. 

In order to create more meaningful Corporate Event Objectives use of the SMART model is needed. The Objectives should be SMART; Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Bound

Specific 

The Corporate Event Objective needs to be positive, clear and obvious, so avoid vague words or open ended descriptions that could be misinterpreted.

If you are looking at increasing “sale revenue” be clear what this term actually means, whereas Sales Revenue is monies generated from sales to your customers, “income” means something different and would cover income from selling items which may not be your primary business activity.

Measurable 

When you have a Corporate Event objective there needs to be a precise measure to target against using a metric so in the case of sales revenue this could be “increase sales revenue by 10%” here you have a target set and something to measure.

Achievable 

You may have spent lots of time, money and effort putting the Corporate Event together but don’t expect the world make sure you have a realistic target that you think you can achieve. Keep the objective achievable but still challenging.

Relevant 

The Corporate Event Objectives need to be in line with the overall objectives of the Business and focus on the bigger picture rather than all the small points within the Event itself.

Time Bound  

The Corporate Event Objectives need to have a timeline this will help to focus and work to a time plan keeping the Event Team working towards a deadline.

At The Hungry Plaice we have recently introduced a new addition to our fleet Bessie a modern van specifically for certain corporate events which call for a modern van. This contemporary vehicle is equipped with a modern range fryer and will be able to cover long distances effortlessly, allowing us to continue to cater for clients even in far-flung locations! The decision to invest in this high-tech van was driven by the desire to preserve our beloved vintage vans, Betty and Beryl who aged 40 and 38 respectively need to do less travelling in order to keep them on the road for as long as we can. Betty and Beryl have been serving up delicious fish and chips for years, becoming icons of The Hungry Plaice's brand. They hold sentimental value that goes beyond their functionality as food trucks and customers had developed an emotional connection with these charming old-fashioned vehicles. Recognising this sentiment, we have decided it was time to protect Betty and Beryl from excessive wear and tear. By introducing the modern van for corporate events, The Hungry Plaice ensures that Betty and Beryl can get some well-deserved rest while still meeting the demands of commercial catering. The advanced features of the new van enhance efficiency making it easier for the business to accommodate large gatherings and operate in distant venues without straining their classic counterparts. Moreover, the modern van allows The Hungry Plaice to expand its reach into previously untapped markets. With its reliability over long distances, the company can now offer its renowned fish and chips experience at various events across different regions, attracting new customers who may have previously been out of range. Despite taking advantage of cutting-edge technology using this new vehicle, The Hungry Plaice remains committed to maintaining its traditional appeal. Betty and Beryl will continue delighting customers at weddings, private and some corporate events keeping alive the nostalgic charm that has become synonymous with The Hungry Plaice experience.  The decision to incorporate a modern van alongside Betty and Beryl represents a balanced approach between preserving tradition and embracing innovation. As we embark on this exciting chapter of expansion The Hungry Plaice remains dedicated to delivering excellence in our services.
