COURSE OUTLINES:
Learn how to lead a group of people through a process to arrive at a solution that is acceptable to all participants. Whether you are leading a project team, defining user requirements for a system development project, or working with executives in developing a strategic plan for their organisation. Attain essential and powerful facilitation skills and techniques. The Masterful Facilitator is our leading programme, which is based upon foundational principles of facilitation and includes a detailed step by step methodology, with a wealth of practical facilitation and group management techniques. Practice sessions around the facilitation principles provide delegates with an opportunity to refine and hone their skills. The programme is structured to allow candidate facilitators the opportunity to build their confidence in the practice sessions. Each practice session progressively broadens their experience, culminating in facilitating larger groups. Documented individual feedback from an IAF Certified™ Professional Facilitator and a video-taped session on DVD makes this course invaluable to any practicing facilitator.

Facilitators seeking to raise their level of facilitation skill would benefit from this programme. In this exciting series, learn enhanced facilitation techniques and methods like appreciative inquiry, world cafe, and many other frameworks, as well as specialised techniques for focused questioning skills, managing challenging and large team environments. Each candidate facilitator receives detailed and constructive feedback, with areas for improvement and opportunities to practice within a safe environment. Learn the art of making your questions work, and benefit your facilitation sessions and the outcomes.
A key feature of this course is learning how to apply John Geier's DISC styles from a communication point of view, and adapting your style in order to emulate the styles of your participants.
Note: Completion of our 3 Day Masterful Facilitator course is a prerequisite.
Do you need to get advice from an IAF Certified™ Professional Facilitator for an upcoming workshop, or help in developing a detailed agenda and structured facilitation model for an important workshop? Would you like to obtain practical observations and learnings on how to address the dysfunction and lack of collaboration occurring in your organisation? Alternatively would you like an IAF Certified™ Professional Facilitator sit in your workshop and provide you with structured feedback or even co-facilitate certain agenda items with you? Throughout our structured coaching process, we offer insightful and detailed feedback (with specific areas and strategies for improvement) to help you refine your skills and raise your level confidence as a facilitator.

- Facilitating IT Work Sessions.
Most failures found in systems development lifecycle projects stem from shortcomings made during the requirements definition phase. Challenges like these begin when systems are designed with limited input and poor collboration from all the key stakeholders. Building on the foundational principles introduced in our Skilful Facilitator Series, the Facilitating IT Sessions course offers the IT professional tailored techniques and practice sessions as well as detailed guides which are geared specifically for facilitating business information and systems needs analysis, process improvement, and requirements definition and gathering. A FacilitateIT!™ Starter Kit is included in this course.
