A Client Story
I recently taught an improv based leadership workshop for an association of professional radiologists, and a few interesting things happened in the process that I thought might be of interest to potential clients. The first thing I wanted to highlight was a space issue. I had sent the client my blog post on preparing your space and team for a workplace improv event, but I could see the link had never been clicked. So about 10 days before the event I sent an email to a few stakeholders in the event asking what space they intended the workshop in. The answers weren't good. They wanted to hold a 25 person workshop in a room that was 20' x 20' (fine) but was crammed with 5 large tables each suitable for seating 8-10 people. I suggested building in time on both ends of the workshop to allow for the removal and then the return of the tables. This was impossible though, given the laptops and other materials the association wanted members to setup on the tables for other back to back sessions. Fair enough, but an improv workshop in the nooks and crannies between those tables would not have gone well. I explained this and underlined the importance of there being ample space to move freely, a big part of playing many of the improv games I had prepared for the curriculum. I was nervous to stand my ground. Would the client perceive my strong advice as me being difficult and decide to cancel the workshop? On the other hand, I didn't want to waste my client's money. I reasoned it would be better to lose the event than to deliver a subpar product. Fortunately the hotel hosting the association for the few days of their conference was able to find a beautiful meeting space about 15 floors higher than the main conference hall. We retooled the schedule to allow for some travel on an elevator and held the event there. The event itself went marvelously and the breathtaking views of the mostly empty meeting space only enhanced the experience! That never would have happened if I hadn't insisted we at least try to find a suitable room. The way this problem played out provides a type of roadmap for all events. There will always be unexpected problems when arranging live events. But problems are no problem at all so long as you don't ignore them and take reasonable action to overcome them. The Radical Agreement Project (RA) is committed to that type of problem solving and we welcome clients that want to go the extra yards the ensure excellent events!
