Workshop Facilitation - more info
A facilitated workshop is a structured approach to ensuring that a group of people can reach a predetermined objective in a compressed timeframe, supported by an impartial facilitator.
Benefits of using a Facilitated Workshop:
Rapid, quality decision-making Because all necessary stakeholders are present at the same time, there is good confidence in the result. The group focuses on the objectives to be achieved in the session so that the information gathering and review cycle is performed at a greater speed. Also, misunderstandings and disagreements can be worked out at the time.
Greater buy-in Workshops, run effectively, lead to participants feeling more involved in the programme and the decisions being made. They build and maintain enthusiasm.
Building team spirit It is a controlled way of building rapport as well as delivering valuable content for the programme. It can promote understanding and co-operation between departments and organisations, which is particularly important when a programme is cross-cutting and/or involves partners.
Design by the stakeholder community If practices are reviewed as a result of a workshop, participants can gain a greater understanding of the inputs and implications of their work. This can lead to efficiencies that are led by the participants themselves, giving greater buy-in and commitment and therefore a greater chance of successful implementation.
Clarification of requirements when they are unclear Stakeholders can be led through their objectives and processes to define what they may require. In the workshop environment, participants can explore and model ideas. This is successful through a combination of structured discussion and the presence of knowledgeable participants.
