GOALSBASED FACILITATION
A Harrington Strategies’ facilitator is experienced at getting the right outcomes from team meetings and activities.
They help team members identify their common objectives and understand what their individual roles in achieving them are.
The steps that lead to success include:
• Starting with a well-planned agenda.
• Time and task management of those agenda items to make sure they begin and end on time.
• Getting participation and contributions from each member of the group.
• Fostering a positive emotional culture in the group.
• Creating ownership from the individuals and the group.
• Drawing out opinions and perspectives of the group members.
• Helping the group develop unique solutions to solve problems.
• Putting those solutions into an action plan with accountability to make sure that momentum doesn’t end when the meeting does.
One of the most valuable benefits of working with a good facilitator is increased buy-in from team members. That comes from them knowing they have an opportunity to weigh in and are part of the decision-making process. Then, they take ownership of the outcome. The bottom line is that our skilled facilitators make goal-oriented meetings, training workshops or other group activities much more likely to lead to success.
