Facilitation Skills

Facilitators, whose job is to help manage the flow and process of information exchange, are more concerned with smoothing the way of the journey than its destination. 

This programme will give you the skills and techniques to be able to facilitate teams and groups in a business environment. You will learn just how valuable the art of facilitation is and how it differs from, and links to mentoring, coaching and managing teams and individuals. Importantly, you will also learn when adopting a facilitative approach is appropriate and when it is better to stand back from a situation and allow others to reach the goal alone.

This programme is for you if

you want to ensure a productive and constructive group process. This may be brainstorming a new idea or discussing the latest employee appraisals.

On completion of this course you will be able to:

• Understand what facilitation is as a style of management, and understand when and when not to facilitate
• Demonstrate a facilitating style and recognise when and how to stand back from a business issue
• Apply facilitation skills to the work environment, irrespective of the technical issues being discussed
• Facilitate and mentor individuals by focusing on individual performances in the team and encourage the development of individual strengths
• Understand how facilitation, as a skill, links to mentoring and coaching and is core to effective delegation
