Overview
The use of facilitation is an increasingly important part of business life, since a collaborative approach to working is widely recognised as the most effective way to make decisions, capture requirements, plan projects and gain consensus.
A facilitator’s role is to set the purpose, communicate clearly and assertively, listen actively, motivate appropriately, ask clear questions, manage conflicts, build trust & loyalty and all whilst managing the process and delivering an outcome.
This workshop defines and examines practical ways to develop the skills of the facilitator.
