The IT Sessions Toolkit

If you are a facilitator in a technical arena, you know the importance of technical competence. Yet, the skill that distinguishes the most effective technical facilitators is their ability to guide, motivate, and get results from groups. Our IT Sessions Techniques Sampler Toolkit is designed to provide technical group facilitators with structured facilitation methodologies and tools for working with groups to produce "systems" related results. This group interaction toolkit is packed with facilitation techniques and tools based on the FacilitateIT!™ Graphic Cards for facilitating requirements gathering sessions, needs analysis, data modelling, process modelling and more! A range of requirements gathering techniques are modelled such as Actor Maps, Use Case Maps, Prioritising Requirements, Context Diagrams, and Business Rules Definitions.

The ProcessMAP™ Flow Charting Toolkit

Process mapping is one of the most common techniques used by business analysts and business consultants and has recently gained more interest in the field of facilitation as a fundamental business analysis tool within many quality-based methodologies such as SixSigma. It is a flexible and valuable tool that belongs in every facilitator’s toolbox.

This toolkit is a powerful tool for all business analysts and business consultants who are consistently being asked to facilitate sessions to improve business processes. The toolkit has been developed with a variety of basic mapping conventions (parallel with those used in ANSI-standard flowcharting).

This toolkit will equip facilitator’s with the ability to define a process, breaking it down into its sub-processes, with finally developing the process flow chart that is ready to be captured into a flow charting tool such as Microsoft Office Visio.

As with all our toolkits, the ProcessMAP™ toolkit includes a range of agenda models and facilitation guides based on the FacilitateIT!™ Graphic Cards for process modeling and procedure definition, process mapping, decomposition diagrams and procedure flowcharts.

* Attendance of a 1 Day Facilitating Process Mapping Toolkit Training Course is suggested.
