Convention Sales And Services

Convention Sales And Services

The International Association of Conference Centers (IACC), North America, is an organization of member conference centers that have met the "Universal Criteria" for conference centers worldwide.

 

The IACC mission is "to assist members in providing the most productive meeting facilities around the world. These facilities represent the highest-quality venues available to meeting professionals on a global basis" ("About IACC: Our Mission," 2008, par.)

 

Read through the details of the case study and then write an essay responding to the prompt taken from the case study, copied below.

 

Your mission for this case study is to select, with a solid rationale, the best conference center for the meeting described. This meeting is entirely fictional; it is based on several meetings held by several corporations. The meeting, though, presents a scenario that could fit at any one of the three conference centers described in this case study. Differences between the facilities, though, will have an impact on the meeting (as well as the planning decisions made). After careful study of the meeting requirements, and reflection about the venues and the needs and desired by the client, you should be able to select one of the properties and you should be able to successfully defend that selection. <o:p>

Project Management

Project Management

Managing a project team and addressing people's issues are challenging for project managers. A flood of people's issues may overwhelm a professional, and especially those who aspire to be a PM someday. There are professional tools that consultants use to bring teams together and bring awareness to personality types. There are two types of activities that can help: personality assessment tools and team building exercises.

Personality assessment tools are useful in two ways. They introduce and promote discussion about the notion that different people have different personalities and these differences influence their effectiveness as team members. While it may seem patently obvious that different people have different personalities, examining and discussing this is useful. They also give insight to each individual on how their own personality might influence their interactions both as team members and as managers.

There are many assessment tools on the market today. One tool mentioned by the textbook's author is the Personal Style Inventory third edition, by Champagne and Hogan, published by HRDQ® (www.hrdq.com). This assessment is based on the well-known work by the mother daughter team of Myers and Briggs. You may also review the personality profile test at www.humanmetrics.com

An astute student will recognize that not only are these types of assessments and exercises useful in a classroom environment, they can also be used in “real” projects. Many PMs will administer personality assessment tools as a team building exercise that also gives the team real insights into how best they can work together.

What type of team building exercise would you use if you were managing a project team? Why will this work? What challenges have you personally experienced, if any, and how did a team building or team assessment tool help?

Your comments should be supported by research that you reference at the bottom of your post – see rubric in syllabus for complete submission guidance.
