Facilitation Skills

Background

Do you need to facilitate groups more effectively? Do you need more productivity in your meetings? Do you want to focus your group's energy on a common goal? Do you want to create a feeling of good teamwork and improve staff morale? In order to answer YES to these questions then you need to be, or provide, effective FACILITATORS within your organisation.

Organisations are increasingly using facilitated workshops to improve the effectiveness of making key decisions. They are also being used to identify user requirements within Rapid Application Development (RAD) projects and to re-engineer business processes. It should be noted that within a RAD environment, an effective facilitator is essential in the running of Joint Application Development (JAD) workshops.

In short, facilitation is a personal skill, which is becoming a necessity in many of today's organisations.

The Event

This event will provide a thorough understanding of how to effectively facilitate workshops and meetings within your organisation, where problems or situations need to be analysed and recorded. It will be practical, allowing you to take the opportunity to try out the role of facilitator.

On completion of this workshop, delegates will be able to:

• Effectively facilitate their own workshops and meetings;
• Understand the role of the facilitator and the boundaries and limitations of that role;
• Understand the set of techniques that can be applied to different situations;
• Apply guidelines for pre-workshop preparation.

It will be of particular interest to those in IT including project managers, software development managers, team leaders, business analysts, and senior users.
