What do you do if your large-scale event is falling apart due to a lack of teamwork?
Large scale events fail due to one reason. Lack of communication. Process and procedure should already be in place. Do you need to retrain your team? Reinforce? Change procedures due to the market and how clients want to operate? Second, your team should all be on the same page with expectations of the event and the roles they play. This is in the hands of your catering or event manager. Meet with them to discuss where the team is failing and have them make adjustments.
