Sample
1. Produce a professional schedule (using project management software)
that identifies planning and resourcing prior to the two-day event. In
addition, design a training pack to include a range of activities,
seminars, workshops, team-building activities and break-out sessions.
It is expected that 40 employees will attend the event. There is a large
auditorium that will seat 60, and the outdoor centre can accommodate
15 at any one time for activities. In addition, there are three break-out
rooms, one with computers for up to 20 and two other seminar rooms
that seat up to 30.
2. Design a two-hour workshop session based on ‘team dynamics’ to
include a presentation, interactive links to suitable sites and an activity
sheet that will require delegates to take part in some form of team-
building task.
Working individually:
3. Following the event, your training and development manager has
asked you to provide some feedback. Produce a written evaluation of
the effectiveness and application of interpersonal skills during the
design and delivery process. You should also include an evaluation of
your performance in this project and your contribution to the team you
worked in.
4. Produce a report discussing problem-solving and its importance in
planning and running an event. Your report should include a discussion
of various problem-solving techniques and justify the solution
methodologies used during your project. You should also include a
critique of the application of critical reasoning and your experiences of
it.
