Most workshops and meetings will achieve more in less time if they are facilitated professionally. The facilitator's task of opening up discussion, getting ideas into the open and setting a broad agenda is essential if a group is to reach consensus on a particular outcome.
This practical introduction to the essential skills needed when running a facilitated workshop will help you to develop a facilitation style that is unbiased and non-manipulative, allowing you to be in control yet without being overpowering. With detailed examples, proven tips for success, checklists, case studies and a self-assessment guide to test your own personal approach to facilitation this book will help you to:
- understand the facilitator’s role;
- determine the facilitation style that matches your personal style;
- develop the ideal structure for workshops;
- control agenda and keep workshops running to time; and deal with difficulties.
This fully revised new edition also includes information on facilitating both cross cultural and top team workshops. Designed to build facilitation skills rapidly and effectively, this practical guide is the ideal self-development tool for anyone involved in facilitation.
