Eyes on the Road

It goes without saying that the key to achieving a stress-free and successful live event is a well-thought and detailed event plan. Given that, my following statement may seem completely counter-intuitive.

Do not hesitate to cast your event plan aside when circumstances on the ground change.

There is no mistaking the comfort created by having your project mapped out. However, that same sense of comfort can foster an inflexibility in responding to unforeseen circumstances. A road map can point you in the right direction...but you still need to read the road signs.

Sometimes its best to just put the map away, look around, and drive on.
