Investigate own skills in form of skills audit
A skills audit is a review of your skills and knowledge that can help you identify your
existing skills and identify areas where you can improve. The main purpose of
carrying out a skill audit is to know the skills you have and the skills you might not
have and what skills must be developed.
It is important to carry out a skill audit relating to the role of an event organiser
because the role has certain skills required for you to have which makes it vital in
having these skills. These skills consist of organisational, problem-solving. time
management, negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills. Caring out a
skills audit for the role of an effective event organiser would be necessary as you can
identify which skills that you have are strong and the skills that need more
improvement over time.
Different formats for skills auditing collection
Likert scale
(1) Likert scaling asks respondents to tick the box which they think accurately
describes their responses to the statement. The Likert scale is normally research
that involves questionnaires such as ‘How likely are you to recommend our event
service’, with predefined answer options ranging from “strongly disagree” through to
“strongly agree”. An event planner can use a Likert scale to gain feedback on how
they have performed by participating in the survey and receiving a response from the
respondents to improve in the future.
Semantic differential scale
(2) The semantic differential is another way that the attendees of an event can ask
about the performance. The semantic differential scale is an 8 point scale that is
used to determine a respondent's attitude toward a specific event by asking them to
select an appropriate place on the scale from a set of four opposing adjectives.
Organized and disorganised, well managed or poorly managed, and outstanding
communicator or lousy communicator are some of the words on the table. These are
the kinds of adjectives that would be presented in the table.
Observation
Another method of getting feedback is observation. When a person is required to
observe and analyse what the event organiser is doing to appraise and draw
conclusions about their performance, this is known as observation. Observation is a
useful tool for assessing someone's performance in real-time. One of their
responsibilities is to take notes on what the event organiser is doing well and what
