Facilitator training
It's not enough for members of an organisation to know their goals, they also need to build the road to get there. An effective tool for this is a facilitated meeting led by a trained facilitator.
What do you need for effective meetings?
In order to move in the same direction on a common issue, staff need structured information and motivation. These can be achieved through effective communication within the organisation, and effectiveness is enhanced if there is a dedicated specialist.
The success of a meeting, a meaningful organisational event or a change depends on the communication between colleagues. As well as the quantity of information exchanged, the quality is a cardinal point. This can be improved if meetings are led by a facilitator who methodological knowledgea is responsible for efficiency.
