Step 1: Recall where the students left off.
The students have already completed the first step of organising: they identified all the tasks and divided them into manageable parts (refreshments, sound, tentage, gifts, invitations, cultural programme). Now the question asks what the next three steps are.
Step 2: Next Step - Departmentalisation (Grouping).
Once work is divided into individual tasks, related or similar tasks must be grouped together into distinct departments or teams. For example, all tasks related to food and beverages form the refreshment team, all tasks related to audio-visual setup form the sound team, and so on. This grouping creates specialised units where members can focus their energy and skills effectively.
Step 3: Explain why grouping is essential.
Without grouping similar tasks, people would work in isolation without coordination. Forming teams around related activities enables members to support each other, share resources, and avoid duplication of effort.
Step 4: Next Step - Assignment of Duties.
After departments are formed, each team member must be given a specific role and responsibility. Duties should be allocated based on each person's individual skills, abilities, and interests. For example, a student who is good at cooking might be assigned to the refreshment team, while a student with technical skills might handle sound and music.
Step 5: Final Step - Establishing Reporting Relationships (Delegation of Authority).
The last step is to create a clear hierarchy by specifying who is in charge of each team, who gives instructions, and who is accountable to whom. This step grants the necessary authority to team leaders and creates accountability. Without this, there would be no clear chain of command and confusion would arise about decision-making.
Step 6: State all three steps in sequence.
These three steps complete the organising process started by the students and transform their list of divided tasks into a fully functional, structured event management team.
