Designing An Executive Board Room In Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel

Necessary Resources for Designing an Executive Board Room

Question:

Discuss about the Impressive Design Of Executive Board Room.

Conference rooms usually add functionalities, due to which they often lose the usability. It is notable that in order to prepare a standard conference room, it is necessary to design it with multiple displays, full of equipment, meeting capture systems, and teleconferencing systems. In addition to this, the executive rooms control the light, sound, projectors, and screens (Gibb, and Isack 2012.). The help of the technological tools in the executive room would be helpful to prepare a complete design. The study would provide the insightful ideas about an impressive design of Executive Board Room in Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel. The assessment provides the ideas about the design and necessary resources that would be used for the preparing the venue.

Analysis of the design principles have been applied to your chosen venue 

The design of the executive room requires following the structured shapes and resources. These resources are utilized for arranging the boardroom meetings and other conferences. It is necessary to consider the Modern Control Systems Designs to understand the underlying challenges (Afanasiev, Kolmanovskii and Nosov 2013). It is a mathematical explanation to identify the determinants associated while designing the executive room.  In the previous time, the design thinking was centered for arranging these meetings. However, it has been noticed that this particular executive room has the sufficient number of tables. It is necessary to design the executive room by maintaining the proper design principles. The executive room requires following the below mentioned principles:

• It is necessary to utilize the space in the executive room with proper structure West, J. and (O'Mahon 2014). The tables and chairs are needed to be placed by keeping enough spaces. During the conference, it is necessary that the members feel comfortable in the room and enough space to sit comfortably.
• The executive room requires including the storage area, drawers, shelves and cabinet. In this venue, these features have been added. The adequate number of tables, chairs, and storages are added within this executive room.
• While structuring the executive room, it is necessary to keep focus on several essentials, such as speaker, projector, lights, TV, stoves, fridges, etc (Johnson 2013). However, it is seen that while designing the executive room, the adequate amount of electricity, projectors, and TV.
• The design principles determine that these resources are needed to be properly checked and monitored. The assessment report determines that the designs and resources are properly checked on a regular basis.

The goal of building this executive room was to understand the use of meeting rooms by the executives. The approach for preparing the entire design was to investigate the general work process and the agenda of the meeting (Stanton, Salmon and Rafferty 2013). It is also required to understand the different types of meetings prepared by the staffs. The planning was done for building the Executive Board Room in Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel to arrange the meeting for the executive board directors. The different types of the meeting process have been explored while structuring the design. Moreover, the observation is made to analyze both paper based and computer based scheduling as well as the document handling system. The interviews were conducted to observe the proper schedules and supports derived from the staffs. The assessment provides the idea that the resources were properly organized. Moreover, the staffs and executives were also involved to prepare the entire room.

Design Principles for an Executive Board Room

Prior to this room designing process, the objectives were made to ensure the possibility of success (Duffy, Cave and Worthington 2016). The first objective was to structure the proper style, overall space, image and experience. It was noticeable that the design of the executive room concentrated on these aspects more specifically. In order to fulfill these criteria, the adequate capital resources have been added. The focus was set to structure the complete set up as per the preferences of the executives. The exploration of the different meeting types was quite helpful in this case. Based on the meeting requirements, the executive rooms included sufficient sitting arrangements, tables, chairs, and enough space to sit comfortably. There is the huge place where the executives can even undertake the session of presentation. The stakeholders are the executive board members who opted for the spacious and comfortable meeting room. The discussion room requires concentrating on specific resources like projector, TV, electricity, air conditions, and sufficient space to seat (Johnson 2013). The assessment report seems to be fulfilling all such criteria that ensure the accomplishment of these objectives.

The observation of these structured designs is notifying that it was necessary to develop the technological resources in an advanced way. The traditional technological tools are needed to be upgraded. It is notable that the technological tools are mainly associated with two major parts related to the works of CEO. These two parts are effective relationship building and communication. In fact, the upgraded technological tools are much helpful in sharing necessary information during the decision-making process. Hence, the upgraded technological involvement was required for preparing the design of the venue. Another major consideration was the persistence with the structure. The design was prepared according to the business objectives. Hence, it is necessary to maintain the persistency.  The replacements of the faulty wires or any mismanaged technologies are essential. It may cause any accidental hazards. Hence, the regular checks and monitoring is required.

Explanation of the rationale behind a venue condition assessment

The venue condition is the primary criteria for building an executive room. The mission of Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel was to utilize the technological tools to structure a comfortable and well-organized executive room. The need of this new executive room set up is mainly based on several reasons. It is necessary to gather the adequate idea about the different types of meetings that are going to be held at that designed place. Penner, Adams and Rutes (2013) stated that The different set up for each department was quite difficult to design if there was any lack of resource. In order to structure the entire design, it was necessary to derive the complete ideas about the different meeting styles that are going to be held at that executive room. The stakeholders wanted a complete set up with enough spaces, drawers, shelves and sufficient space for sitting. The projectors and TV were also required to undertake the presentation practices. These business practices needed more observation on the several criteria. The single use of the facility was required to be incorporated. It was even necessary to maintain the flexibility in time of building up the venue. The operators might change this flexible use. The major focus of this executive room is to undertake the suitable meeting session (Landa 2016). The focus of the tourism industry is to build good relationship with the travelers or tourists.  Therefore, these meeting rooms are essential to arrange the meeting with the staffs and providing them the accurate information about the hospitality management. Therefore, this initiative is undertaken for structuring a meeting room for the training and other discussion purposes.

Objectives of the Initiative

The objective of this initiative was to improve the hospitality practices that are important to build a good rapport with the target customers. In the tourism sector, it is important to build a good customer relationship, which can be facilitated by the good hospitality services. The executive room with enough and comfortable spaces would be helpful enough in arranging meetings or training sessions by the executives (Mitton and Nystuen 2016). The complete design would provide the new generation learning and discussion scenario that is much effective for the business purposes. Hence, it is quite essential to keep the focus on needs of the stakeholders while designing the entire rooms. The lack of upgraded technological tools was the major determinant for this planning process. It is suggested that the traditional technologies can be replaced to bring more beneficial outcome. On the other hand, there was the possibility of rejecting the design if the executives or other stakeholders do not like it. Hence, the challenges are also much concerned in such cases.

Conclusion

The entire plan is structured to build up Executive Board Room in Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel. The different types of the meeting process have been explored while structuring the design. Moreover, the observation is made to analyze both paper based and computer based scheduling as well as the document handling system. The focus was set to structure the complete set up as per the preferences of the executives. The exploration of the different meeting types was quite helpful in this case. Based on the meeting requirements, the executive rooms included sufficient sitting arrangements, tables, chairs, and enough space to sit comfortably. The focus was set to structure the complete set up as per the preferences of the executives. The stakeholders are the executive board members who opted for the spacious and comfortable meeting room. The discussion room requires concentrating on specific resources like projector, TV, electricity, air conditions, and sufficient space to seat. The upgraded technological involvement was required for preparing the design of the venue.
