Course description
Facilitation™ is a common word used in a variety of different contexts. However, ‘being a facilitator’ for a group and ‘facilitating meetings/events’ requires key skills and a deep knowledge of the principles and concepts. The skill of facilitation assists organizations to tackle difficult challenges using best practice facilitation methods, to make certain robust solutions that can be delivered in an effective, timely, and constructive way that won’t compromise on the key issues, and to enable organizations to involve and engage people at all levels, using a collaborative approach to facilitate change.
This is increasingly recognised throughout the industry as a key skill to own where the qualification is relevant to all sectors and types of situations where collaboration is required to tackle issues, resolve organisational problems, and develop effective solutions. It is widely recognised as an important and strategic skill to assist projects where clarity and delivery of projects on time, to budget, and within timescales is of paramount importance.
Suitability - Who should attend?
Individuals who will add value to organisations where they can manage project team members and enable them to identify key issues, develop robust solutions through creative thinking and effective selection of options, and launch projects effectively by defining the objectives and key outcomes of a project or programme.
