Progress report to CEO on how the preparation of the events is going on

This specific part is the brief overview on how the entire program will be conducted on 15 December 2018 from 6pm to 11.00pm at Westin Hotel at Martin Place located at Sydney.

7. Keeping a constant follow up: Organizers need to get follow-up from the guests and employees regarding services provided by Commonwealth bank.

In this very specific study I have provided an insightful idea on how to conduct and plan an event which is celebrating for the purpose of business success. After making an in-depth discussion with my senior managers I have selected Westin Hotel at Martin Place as the concerned venue. The event will be held on 15^th December of 2018 from 6pm to 11.00 pm. The overall experience that I have gathered while communicating with the stakeholders was wonderful. In some of the specific areas I have identified the lack of knowledge and competency that should be improved. I have come across large numbers of people coming from different geographical backgrounds and psychological attitudes. While communicating with them I have gathered wonderful learning experience. I have learnt on how to maintain workplace harmony on the floor. It would definitely guide me to conduct the entire event successfully. While organizing the event I would have come across the people from various cultural backgrounds. In this kind of situation, I may have to face challenges in maintaining collaborative work. Still, my communication skill enables me to make an effective bond with every participant associated with this event management.  

Celebrate the success of Commonwealth Bank and showcase your talents in front of distinguished guests.

As a communication manager my primary role was to properly convey the message of dinner party to both internal as well as external stakeholders. In order to transmit the message properly to the employees I have send an official mail where I have given detailed information about the significance of event, its venue, date and time. I have requested every single employee to spread their hands for participating within the event program. However, before communicating with the trade minister I have taken self-preparation on how to introduce myself as well as my concern to the minister so that it can be convincing for the person. I have tried to give detailed overview about the future business plan of Commonwealth banks.

The financial schemes that are going to be launched for Australian government are also introduced in the formal letter. Apart from that I have decided to make a verbal communication as well. This specific verbal communication has helped me immensely to know about the current business scenario of finance industry in global market. In addition, I have prepared a progress report as well for our respected CEO of Commonwealth Bank. In this progress report, I have given a brief overview about the activities which are already accomplished till date. Activities those are left to be conducted are also mentioned herewith for your convenience. This progress report is very helpful for CEO to keep a constant update regarding the preparation of annual event. As per this update CEO would be able to instruct the concerned persons to take effective measures for making the entire annual dinner party successful.

I have seriously gone through wonderful learning experience while dealing with the various persons both inside and outside the organization. While visiting personally to the employees for knowing their concern I have widen my knowledge and experiences based on which I have improved my own competency. In addition, my experience in interacting with the trade minister was very memorable. I got the scope to communicate with the person for ten minutes through telephonic conversation. In this conversation I got detailed overview about the real business scenario of finance industry and its upcoming challenges. However, this information would help me immensely in making effective business strategic decision. Moreover, my cordial approach and decent gesture enabled me to convince the trade minister to attend my event. The overall experience that I gathered as a communication manager is highly significant for enhancing my competency level.

Learn about upcoming projects and financial schemes during the event.

 It is undeniable that I have faced innumerable challenges while playing the role of a communication manager within my organization. Firstly, I am comfortable only in maintaining formal communication with my colleagues. I do not have multilingual flexibility based on which I can maintain regional communication as well. As a result, people who are having language barrier cannot communicate with me properly. As a result, the entire communication method was getting hampered due to the lack of proper interaction. Therefore, language barrier was a major concern for playing my responsibilities properly. In addition, I have faced immense challenges in making decision as well. People coming from various geographical backgrounds have psychological issues. Their values and beliefs differ from one person to another. In this situation, I had to face immense challenges in making effective decision regarding the event and its success.

In addition, while maintaining participative decision making style I have given equal opportunity to every individual employee for sharing their point of views. While sharing their opinion regarding the success of event psychology differs from one person to another. In this kind of situation, I was facing difficulties in taking appropriate decision. Moreover while making the progress report for submitting to the CEO of Commonwealth bank I have faced challenges. I did not have any experience of making progress report before. As a result, I did not have any clue in maintaining appropriate format of the product. In this kind of situation, I have faced immense challenges in showing a proper progress report about the preparation of this event.  

However, after evaluating the entire study I have observed that I as a communication manager have faced immense challenges in playing my role properly. I have identified several issues within me that should be rectified for enhancing my skill and competency level. I can receive an effective training session for improving my multilingual flexibility so that employees do not have to face problem in communicating with me. In addition, I need to raise my confidence level based on which I do not hesitate and fumble while talking to any person. Automatically, the entire communication between the sender and receiver would be effective.
