How responsibility is managed
A documented process, from request to delivery
The operating method makes responsibilities, timing and points of contact explicit before work starts.
1 · Briefing, ideally in February
We define the two fronts — stand and city —, hours, expected flows, brand register and languages needed. This week, lead time is the factor that determines the quality of the team.
2 · Written quote in 24 hours
Profiles, headcount per front, hours, daily cost, any evenings and the total. Build days and evenings are separate, explicit items.
3 · Selection and advance option
You get a shortlist with photo, experience, languages and availability. We option the chosen profiles well ahead, reserves included: in April in Milan the good staff don’t stay free.
4 · Contracts and paperwork
Engagement, contracts, mandatory notifications, insurance and payments are on OPEN S.r.l. The company gets a single invoice for the whole week.
5 · Training on product and display
A briefing on your materials: collections, designers, finishes, the visitor journey, what can be touched and what can’t. With a visit to the display when timing allows.
6 · The week and continuous support
A team leader on each front, daily roll-call, immediate replacements and an agency contact reachable from morning to the end of the evening events.
7 · Report and close-out
Attendance statement per front, collected contacts and a short note on what worked, useful to plan next edition as early as September.
