Processes

 

A process is series of step by step tasks or activities that are repeated in the management of an event. These actions can be regarded as the components in the overall process to deliver the event. Each action contributes towards the completion of a main task. Processes may be illustrated by a flow chart.

Processes acting on all areas of the EMBOK Domains include:

  • Management
  • Analysis
  • Communication
  • Decision Optimization
  • Scheduling
  • Risk Analysis

Processes acting on specific areas of the EMBOK and/or on specific types of events include:

  • Conference Registration
  • Press Accreditation
  • Site Choice
  • Procurement
  • Request for proposals
  • Costing
  • Engaging Speakers
  • Contracting

More information on EMBOK processes go to William O'Toole's website.

 

Did you know?

Since the initial work on EMBOK, work has continued with other organisations to provide industry ready outputs.  For example, Tourism HR Canada (formerly Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council - CTHRC) drew on a wide range of industry expertise and content, including from EMBOK and members of the International EMBOK Executive, to develop the Event Management International Competency Standards (EMICS).  These were in turn then used as the basis of Meeting Professional International's Meeting and Business Events Competency Standards (MBECS).

THRC have moved forward and developed an International Events Qualifications Framework (IEQF).
