Amalies Nine Codes for Successful Planning

#1: Thou shalt not deviate from the BRIEF and honour the requirements of our clients.

#2: Thou shalt not go over BUDGET and honour the costs allocated by our clients.

#3: Thou shalt delivery the event on TIME and honour the schedule of our clients.

#4: Thou shalt honour all INTEGRATION with other suppliers and event partners.

#5: Thou shalt honour best PROCUREMENT practices with our suppliers.

#6: Thou shalt produce the highest QUALITY event possible.

#7: Thou shalt respect and honour all PEOPLE involved with the event.

#8: Thou shalt always COMMUNICATE with our clients and event partners.

#9: Thou shalt not ignore RISK and take appropriate actions against it.

The above codes are adapted from an Events Management bible of mine and comes from the nine areas of knowledge from the Project Management Institute (2000). I'm a firm believer in these codes and believe these to be the foundation in which the wedding and events industries should be based upon.
