Question

In the context of an event management, please explain what the 5W+H model is and indicate 5 reasons why it should be used.

Answer 1

In the context of an event management, let me explain about 5W+H model:

As, every event should be focusing on meeting its objective and it should consider needs and requirements of every stakeholder, here, we will work on 5W+H model that will create several questions under each section. We should document response accordingly, with knowing all the responses; we can manage that event much effectively.

Why	What	Who
Why we required this event? Why it is important to implement such Event for business and society perspective? Why specific processes as selected to be implemented for such Event management? Why we require the journey in this Event?	What should be done for this event management? What is the current state of the event preparation? What planning should be implemented in this context of event management? What would be timeline and completion date for such Event? What are the Key success factors for this Event?	Who should be involved in this Event Management work? Who else could be required in the middle of event management? Who are currently associated with this Event?
Where	When	How
Where should we implement this Event? Where else this event can be implemented? Where currently we are implementing this event?	When we should implement this Event? When we should hire resources for this event? When we will start the planning for this event?	How to manage and implement this event? How we are currently implementing this event? How should it be implemented? How we can work on different methods and practices to implement this Event?

Now let me state five reasons, why 5W+H model should be implemented in the context of Event Management:

• When we consider Why context, we can define Goals, objectives for this Event, hence, we should use why context to understand voice of stakeholders, needs and requirements of each stakeholder.
• Event should be cost effective and it should consider effective returns on its completion. Here, 5W+H model will help many ways to bring success in the event.
• We must consider sustainability for managing an event. Through this model, we can focus on improvement objectives and that in turn will bring long time return.
• We will create data driven approach through clarifying each context like Why, who, how, what, etc.
• We must know about the processes and their effectiveness, here, How context and preparing response to the necessary questions will help us to know about how we will be implementing the processes for such event?
