Planning a display for a trade show is a project that is a is a temporary endeavour, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet particular goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management. This is where Scan Display’s team of professionals can help you out. Contact us at +27 11 447 4777 for more information about our products and services.

Traditionally, project development includes a number of elements: four to five stages, and a control system. Regardless of the methodology used, the project development process will have the same major stages:

• initiation
• planning or development
• production or execution
• monitoring and controlling
• closing

In project environments with a significant exploratory element e.g. in Research and development these stages may be supplemented with decision points (go/no go decisions) at which the project’s continuation is debated and decided.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing a number of different resources in order to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honouring the preconceived project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives.

Trade shows and exhibitions are excellent venues at which to launch new products, especially if the new product is innovative. An excellent example of this is the way that new models of automobiles are always launched at a Motor Show. If you know that you are going to be launching a new product at a particular trade show, it gives you the opportunity of publishing a press release beforehand advertising the event, and of advising all of your existing suppliers and clients of the proposed launch, thus ensuring the maximum of publicity before the event. Scan Display can help by designing and building a display stand around the proposed new product, thus ensuring you of the best possible exposure to attendees.
