What do you do if your hospitality project ends in failure?

If your hospitality project ends in failure, it's essential to reflect and learn from the experience. Firstly, understand what went wrong and identify the factors that contributed to the failure. Next, consider seeking feedback from stakeholders to gain different perspectives on the situation. Use this information to refine your approach and avoid similar pitfalls in future projects. Take responsibility for any mistakes and communicate openly with your team about lessons learned. Finally, regroup and apply these learnings to future endeavors, using the failure as a stepping stone towards future success.

I accept reality by focusing on actionable steps for growth. I acknowledge the outcome without dwelling on blame or negativity, although easier said then done. Every action and result, even a negative one, has a learning moment. As Marie Forleo says, "I win or I learn. I never lose."

1. Evaluate the reasons for the failure 2.Use the failure to learn and prove on future projects I 3. Communicate with stakeholders 4. Make amends 5. Refocus and regroup 6. Seek feedbacks from team members 7. Consider seeking more external help

Think about the event from beginning to end see what errors where made by having a 10 to 15 minute briefing after the event with the team see what could have been done better make the event run smoothly as well as taking into account the complaints, and good reviews from guests onsite, and implementing them at the next event as you know the customer is always 100% correct

Understanding the root causes of failure is key. It's like being a detective, uncovering clues to solve a mystery. By digging deep and figuring out what went wrong, we can learn and grow, turning setbacks into stepping stones for success. Here some questions that could be asked: - Was there adequate support and buy-in from key people, including management and clients? - Were there any unexpected challenges or obstacles that arose during the project? - Did the project have adequate resources, including budget, time, and manpower, to succeed? - Were roles and responsibilities clearly defined?

One simple way to gather feedback after a project failure is to conduct a post-project review meeting with the team. There I like to "whiteboard" and focus on specific questions like "What could we have done differently?" and "What lessons can we take away from this experience?" Additionally, I like to give time to brainstorm actionable solutions/ checklists, steps, and strategies for improvement moving forward.

Firstly The project will not fail..as all the pros and cons will be looked into before the project starts. There might be set backs. Will analyse everything that must have gone negative to undermine the project.Work toward building it back into a profitable venture. Never give up... Keep trying till you succeed..
