Creating the right organization is a necessary step in creating a successful event The organization structure can be of the different forms outlined on this page and these structures may need to change as the event project life cycle progresses. The organisation may also need to change and adapt for repeat events. All these possibilities should be allowed for in the set up of the organization - in its genes. An event can be organised as it goes along. The problem is that the event is rarely repeatable, it is impossible to assess or improve and it is not accountable.
Organization provides a transparent authority and reporting mechanism.
The organization needs to be able to respond to the fluid event environment. The major function of organisation is to reduce complexity. This is the basis of compartmentalization - or delegating. The ebb and flow of activities with events means that an event manager needs to delegate. The traditional categories of organizational are not sufficient to encompass many modern companies.
