The thought of using Excel to manage 600 some people at multiple events (over
time) would scare the hell outta me. Sure it's not a trick question and they
really want you to build an Access system?

Hello!

I am an event manager currently working to set up a system that can handle
the planning process of a sporting event.

Background: I am one of three people left in the run for an event director
job for one of the largest soccer clubs in Scandinavia. I received the
following task for next interview:

Next week I have to present an efficient management system, that can
systematize the processes of planning, coordinating and managing the club's
sporting event (soccer match). There are generally 20.000 people visiting the
game, and there 600 people (including volunteers) working the game. I need to
be able to put all the logistics and people in their right place. This must
be done in Excel, since they have used this for years in the managing
process.

I have the event management skills, and know excel medium well, but have
never used excel like this...! How could this be done?

I TRULY APPRECIATE ANY INPUT THAT CAN HELP ME GET THIS JOB!!

Best regards,
Ole J. Belboe
