Even with the right tools, managing a large group event requires some serious organizational skills! Here are some pro tips to help you stay on top of things: LEVERAGE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE: Project management tools can help you organize tasks, timelines, and encourage team collaboration. These platforms allow you to create detailed project plans, assign tasks, set deadlines and track progress in real-time, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. DEVELOP A DIGITAL FILING SYSTEM: Organize all event-related documents into separate folders for contracts, vendor details, permits, guest lists, budgets, and more. Ensure that all documents are easily accessible and properly labeled to avoid last-minute searches. AUTOMATE ROUTINE TASKS: Identify repetitive tasks that can be automated using software solutions. For example, use email marketing tools to send automated reminders and updates to guests and vendors, or integrate scheduling tools to automate meeting bookings and follow-ups.

How many times have you had to put out a fire or lost out an an opportunity because you forget to action something from a meeting? For my client, the answer was ✨ too many✨ Even though they use a meeting note taker [Fireflies.ai] - things were still falling through the cracks, and often. Why? Because between their project management platform [ClickUp], their CRM [HubSpot], and everyone’s email inboxes, things were overlapping and being managed in a reactive and confusing way. To remedy this, we created smart automations [thanks Zapier] to automatically create tasks in their Clickup from meeting transcriptions (paired with some pretty cool filtering setups and internal Clickup automations that I won’t bore you with 🤓) This did 3 things: 1 - Ensured those action items were automatically added to the project management tool they were already using, avoiding lost notifications or overlooked tasks. 2 - Created accountability by assigning ownership. 3 - Removed the chaos of managing tasks across multiple platforms, bringing everything into a single, streamlined workflow. Because each system you use to run your business should have defined purposes and shouldn’t overlap in function. Preventing my client and her team from losing sleep over wondering if they’ve missed anything is just one of the ways I’m bringing peace to their business. Peace through productivity means creating clarity, reducing stress, and streamlining what we can to create space to focus on what matters.

Project Managers, are you drowning in spreadsheets and sticky notes? It's a common notion that Project Manager wear many hats; as such, keeping track of everything – tasks, deadlines, client communication – can feel like an endless struggle. That's where CRMs (Customer Relationship Management) come in to save our lives 😀😀😀. Be it Monday.com, Asana, Trello, Notion, ClickUp, Jira, to mention but a few. I'm so in love with these tools, and a fun fact is that as I explore them, I tend to see lots of similarities amongst them😊😃😃 A good CRM can be your secret weapon for: Streamlining Communication: Ditch the email chains and scattered messages! A CRM centralizes all communication with clients and team members, keeping everyone on the same page. Boosting Organization and Productivity: Say goodbye to messy spreadsheets. CRMs help you manage tasks, deadlines, and project details in one place, making it easy to prioritize and stay on track. Building Stronger Relationships: CRMs allow you to store important client information and preferences. Use that data to personalize communication among teams, collaborate and build stronger relationships. Please share your favorite CRMs and how they've helped you stay on top of your projects in the comments! 🤗🤗 #projectmanagement #crm #collaboration #productivity #organization #clientcommunication

Running a business comes with (more than) its fair share of challenges. It can be difficult to balance client work and stay on top of daily tasks even without considering the strategic things that move the business forward. So how can you get more time and do less?! 1️⃣ Streamline and automate systems Only really weird people like wasting time on repetitive manual tasks. 😂 Look at where your systems require manual input or where data is copied from one system to another. There's an opportunity to save time and the potential for errors right there. Whether it's invoicing, client communications, or project tracking. A tool like Zapier can automate your workflows and connect systems seamlessly. 2️⃣ Clearer contextual communication Most businesses have tools for communicating between staff members but it's not always clear what tool should be used for what. One of the things I always say to clients is get really clear on what tool is to be used for what and make sure everybody understands. What's Slack for, what's email for, what's your project management software for, and what is WhatsApp or text messaging for? I see a lot of people who use these interchangeably amongst the team and it causes a lot of confusion. I'm a big proponent of keeping project comms out of email and on your project management software so everyone can find the right information contextually when they need it. 3️⃣ Delegate effectively As a founder, it’s easy to try to do everything yourself - trust me I've been there. But anything that someone else can do - even if you enjoy it - should probably leave your desk. Delegation is a skill and it isn't just dumping work on people without any clear direction (which can be really easy to do when you're busy!) I often record Loom videos to explain a task and sometimes run the transcript through Chat GPT to create a nice simple bulleted list of what someone else needs to do. 4️⃣ Make that important task a meeting Got some strategic work that you need to work on? Not getting any time for it? Stick it in your diary as a meeting and disappear. Treat it like an actual client meeting that you can't be disturbed from and you'll rattle through it in double quick time! 5️⃣ Swerve those boring meetings Often people have to have meetings to sync on projects. But with the right software all of the updates on key projects can be provided in a format that people can consume as and when they need the information. I use Asana and it's got a great function in each project (on the overview page if you're wondering) that allows you to provide a project update so everyone can see where the projects are and get a timeline of all the key updates on that project over time. Fewer meetings means more time for the important stuff that moves the business forward - or coffee and lunch breaks, the choice is yours... Anyway that's my take. But what’s your best tip for boosting efficiency? Drop a comment below! #JonC #FlowFlows
