“Accelerate Project Planning Through Collaboration”
Practical Dynamic Interactive facilitation training and products that ignite shared vision, drive focused action, and deliver accelerated results for project management and IT professionals!

The FastPLAN™ method is a highly interactive facilitative planning process where the project team members turn ambiguity into accuracy and replace frustration with action. As the project facilitator working together with your participant team, you’ll build a plan for accomplishing the objective – a plan the team can get behind, and the stakeholders and management can endorse, within real-time expectations.
In this practical hands-on workshop participants will perfect the method of facilitating the rapid development of a project plan using accelerated project planning and facilitation tools and techniques based upon the FacilitateIT!™ graphic cards and group interaction toolkits. Learn how to, at the start of the planning session, quickly focus the team on defining the project completion criteria and avoid the disconnect of assumptions and semantics that often create long detours and prevent the team members from converging upon the important outcomes of the project.
Anyone who works in a project-based environment whether a project management practitioner, IT professional, group facilitator, manager, team leader or trainer.
