Facilitation skills masterclass (3 days)

 

“How important is facilitation to the success of your job role?”

 

“Revealed – the secrets of top class facilitators…”

 

Overview

Making business-critical decisions often requires getting together different disciplines and interests, customers, suppliers and third parties.

Time is valuable. Decisions need to be made quickly - at the same time getting the buy-in to make things happen.

A trained facilitator can be used. Often it is left to the workshop or meeting leader to ensure things stay on track and outcomes are met.

Whichever, top quality facilitation skills are essential. Whether the purpose is creativity, problem solving or decision making, important issues are at stake and reputations are on the line.
