Unit 4: Managing an event
BTEC Business Level 3
In this assignment I will be introducing the event management for the Summer’s Euro
Championship 2020 and how they have handled themselves in this rising pandemic of
Covid-19. Therefore, it will be followed up by my own event which I have set up in the
College for Macmillan Charity. I will be talking about the experience, teamwork and the
overall profits we have made from this event followed by a justification and conclusion.
P7- Explain in a situation where a large event couldn’t run or was to be postponed due to a
global crisis what decisions would you as an event organisation have to make and what
would you have to put into place. For example, business plan, aims and objectives etc. You
could use events such as e.g. Glastonbury, a theatre production, Euros 2020 as examples.
Furthermore, explain the specific management skills that you would demonstrate in this
situation too.
This Summer’s Euro 2020 Championship had been postponed due to Coronavirus pandemic
until 2021. The Postponement from Friday 11 June to 11th July 2021 is the planned
postponement. This is having been known to be the “the biggest crisis that football has
faced in history”. The FIFA president did repeatedly stress on the public comments that the
recognition of public health is far more urgent priority than the Euro 2020. Therefore, a
conference call was held in the council bureau and the replacement postponed date was set
with also the suggestion of £8.3 donation for the WHO for Covid 19 pandemic.
If I was an organiser for the Euro 2020, the main aim is for the public safety to be dealt with
any other tasks. I would have to join in the meeting with the other organisers and
representatives of the national football governing of the clubs, leagues, and the players
across the continent in order to plot their responses to the Covid 19 crisis. Another objective
is that every football division will have to be suspend the matches or at least play in empty

stadiums in order to counter the pandemic. Therefore, another objective for the
maintenance is for the fans who have bought the existing tickets for the Euro 2020 will be
ensured to attend in Euro 2021 if not, then their tickets and the packages they have bought
will be refunded in full within the next month.
Management skills needed for this
The skills I endure for management is people skills. This skill is something important in this
type of situations as I am connecting with high level executives, representatives, players,
and other staff members. In order to be successful, I need to know how to work with people
efficiently as a confident but at the same time pleasant negotiator with a certain degree of
sense of humour. Therefore, I believe the skill is important as building relationships is key
for working in this role.
Listening skills is another thing I endure to have as being able to understand the key
stakeholders and the CEO’s, staff members, players are talking about is very vital. Every
word is key what they are stating in the meetings about the Euro 2020 and how to counter
Covid 19. I need to be able to pay attention of what they are saying and the key
conversations. Therefore, me tapping into these spoken and unspoken words is key for my
planning process as it will make sure I am one step ahead.
My problem-solving skills will be very appropriate for this situation. Due to the emergency
we face in this pandemic it is important to be resourceful with that I have. The Euro 2020 is
a fail due to the Pandemic, so I need make sure to counter this successfully for the best Euro
2021 event. I will be facing many challenges and so therefore I need to be able to be calm
and solve.
My organisation skills are also needed in this as in order to be successful multi-tasking must
be running smooth and flawless. A step by step objective list is perfect as it works very well.
This is important to focus on the big picture in order to maintain public safety as priority aim
