questions to ask in creating event concept

– Who are the stakeholders?
– When should the event be held?
– Where is the best place to hold the event?
– What is the event’s content delivery?
32. Basic Research
• Look for relevant stakeholder. For
example, if you are looking to celebrate
Tuen Ng festival, you should involve
Dragon Boat Association
• Also research on commercial activities to
be generated from the event so to ensure
a financially sustainable future
• For cultural or religious events, chances
are, other cities have done it before. Draw
references to similar festive activities.

34. Evaluating Concept
• Shone and Parry (2001) – Screening
Process
– Marketing screen
– Operations screen
– Financial screen
35. Feasibility Study
• It’s a go or no go decision
• There are five common factors (TELOS):
– Technology
– Economy
– Legal
– Operation
– Schedule
36. Technology
Technological feasibility is carried out to
determine whether the company has the
capability, in terms of software, hardware,
personnel and expertise, to handle the
completion of the project
37. Economy
• More commonly known as cost/benefit
analysis, the procedure is to determine the
benefits and savings that are expected
from a candidate system and compare
them with costs.
• Time-based study: This is an analysis of
the time required to achieve a return on
investments. The future value of a project
is also a factor.
38. Legal
Determines whether the proposed project
and its processes are is in compliance with
legal requirements
• Examples of issues related to events:
– Anti-spam legislation
– Labour ordinance
– Tax
– Licenses (i.e., lucky draw, fireworks)
39. Operations
• Operational feasibility is a measure of how
well a proposed an event plan can carry
out the event, and takes advantage of the
opportunities identified during scope
definition and how it satisfies the
objectives identified in the project charter
40. Schedule
• Typically this means estimating how long
the system will take to develop, and if it
can be completed in a given time period
using some methods like payback period.
• Schedule feasibility is a measure of how
reasonable the project timetable is.
• Some projects are initiated with specific
deadlines. You need to determine whether
the deadlines are mandatory or desirable
41. Feasibility Report
A feasibility report can become very complicated, but even
in its simplest form, it should answer the following
questions:
• What are the goals and objectives of the project?
• Will the project meet the goals and objectives of all
stakeholders?
• What are the project’s costs and benefits?
• Does the company have, or can it readily obtain, the
resources it will need?
• How long will it take to see results?
• Does the project (i.e., the event) have long-term potential?
• Are the risks known, understood, and manageable? If
the risks are not manageable, are they acceptable?
42. Feasibility report example
• London’s bid for World Cup

43. Key Elements in a successful Bid
for FIFA World Cup

the operations
Process is the
schedule

issue

but every member will get the same score.
• Each group’s event must not be the same.
