Workshop Facilitation "Daring as it is to investigate the unknown, even more so it is to question the known." - Kaspar

Gaining the hearts and minds of key staff is a major issue for organisations going through significant change, from the top team right through to the critical front line teams.

Facilitated workshops are now accepted as one of the most effective methods for engaging people in organisational issues, for increasing level of buy-in and for accelerating the management of change. This works particularly well when tackling change management issues with the top team at the start of the change process.

A facilitated workshop is an event that lasts at least half a day and may last as long as three days, and is designed to do some or all of the following:

  • Build 'share of mind'
  • Air issues
  • Involve people
  • Consider options
  • Increase common understanding of points of view
  • Hatch plans
  • Give people thinking time
  • Develop actions
  • Create new ideas
  • Increase commitment to the final decision
  • Identifying change management obstacles
  • Developing a change management plan
  • Share views
  • Stimulate thoughts
  • Energise people
  • Build the top team or the management team behind a common goal

Professional facilitators

If you are running a crucial event as part of a change process, you may want help from one of our professional facilitators. Our professional facilitator will help you in two significant ways:

  • facilitate the workshop for you so that you can both contribute and listen without having to worry about looking after the workshop structure and participant interaction

  • work with you to create a stimulating and engaging workshop design that addresses the key issues and involves everyone

Facilitator training

We run training courses for managers or internal consultants who want to learn how to design and run facilitated workshops. Large organisations going through change benefit from placing this key skill at the top of the management agenda.

Two or three day courses in facilitation skills are available for in-house groups of up to twelve people.

Courses are highly practical sessions based on the ideas set out in Esther Cameron's book "Facilitation Made Easy" published by Kogan Page.
