PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Art of Facilitation Successful meetings entail more than progressing through an agenda. The art of true group facilitation is managing the process while tapping into the expertise, style and interests of the participants in such a way that they are able to accomplish the group objectives most effectively. Groups often have excellent meeting designs and follow the agenda but are still unable to achieve effective outcomes because they lack a facilitator who understands group dynamics, draws out diverse perspectives in a non-threatening way and manages the process so the group can commit to durable resolutions. Course participants will learn practical tools and techniques for facilitating a groups’ decision making in a way that adds value, keeping the group focused, encouraging richer exploration of the topic(s), and making better decisions with collective buy-in. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice and experimentation with various techniques.
