PRIMO® Adaptability: Delivering Results When Plans Change 

In today’s events environment, a backup plan is insufficient. As timelines shrink, expectations rise, and conditions shift, outcomes hinge on a handful of high-pressure moments: client conversations, venue negotiations, planner-supplier alignment, internal leadership updates, sponsor management, and team coordination.

In this interactive session, you will learn a practical framework—PRIMO®—for leading amid disruption from international keynote speaker and adaptability expert Fabio Marques.

You will be equipped for high-stakes conversations before they happen, so that you can protect results, relationships, and momentum when plans change.

PRIMO® focuses on five essentials: People, Relationship, Interests, Motives, and Obstacles/Options—giving you a clear way to align expectations, reduce friction, and make better decisions under pressure.

By the session’s end, you will have:

•  A repeatable method for high-pressure conversations when plans change
• The influence tools to align expectations and accelerate decisions
• Immediately usable language to reduce friction, rework, and escalation

Learning Objectives:

1. Apply a repeatable approach to high-pressure conversations.
2. Use influence techniques to align expectations and speed decisions.
3. Communicate clearly to reduce friction and rework.
4. Prevent escalation while maintaining productive relationships.
