Would you like to improve the effectiveness of a working group or team? Then
why not attend:
Facilitation skills
a one day workshop on 15 March, at LAHQ, in London
Many library/information services are moving away from more 'traditional'
working patterns towards a range of working practices. You may already be
familiar with some of these, for example:
* temporary structures, such as project teams
* flatter structures, with greater emphasis on team work
* working groups from different disciplines, as with converged
services, or different organisations
* groups for training & developing others
In these circumstances - where groups may have no previous experience of
working together as a 'team', or where perhaps no one individual has direct
authority over those from other organisations or disciplines - achieving
successful outcomes often depends on effective facilitation.
How will this event help you?
This workshop will help you develop your facilitation skills as part of
managing and leading groups, to achieve successful outcomes, gain commitment
from others, move towards consensus as part of achieving objectives, remove
tension to 'unblock' groups, solve problems or mediate during a conflict.
By the end of the day you will have:
* explored the role of facilitator
* identified and practised skills needed by an expert facilitator
* applied knowledge of group processes and groups development to
facilitation.
* understood how to use facilitation skills to achieve results
Features
The workshop will be highly participative and draw on the experience of all
participants.
