Agile Singapore 2014 Conference

In a meeting or workshop, you need to achieve an outcome, AND make sure people are coming along for the journey. How do you handle this ‘juggling’ or ‘balancing act’?

The High Impact Facilitator balances the imperatives of:

achieving outcomes
boosting engagement
driving productivity
encouraging contribution.
The session covers:
1 : It's all about how you start

This module covers your set-up for a high impact facilitation, getting yourself ready, setting up the environment and your opening 'scripts', style and statements.

2 : Your structures and processes

This module takes you through six different models and processes that Lynne regularly uses in high impact facilitation sessions.

3 : Designing agendas for high impact outcomes

This module shares the inside information on how to use the time available to get to high impact. It's no mistake that great outcomes are achieved in teams by a facilitator who has had a hand in crafting the agenda.

Learn how to use the chunks of time available to get where you need to get to... no matter how long your workshop, meeting or conversation.

4 : Handling tricky stuff

Once you, the environment and the process you're using is sorted, it's now over to you as the facilitator to simply... handle what happens.

There are many different responses to every situation that occurs. There's no one answer - but there is often a 'continuum of response'. This gives you the fleixibility to try something, try something else and try something else to get to the impact you're aiming for.

5 : Incorporating visuals, icons and templates to your facilitation toolkit

This module brings in the power of 'visual mojo'. It's not about what you can draw, but what you can draw out of the group.

6 : Putting it all together

This final module brings the learning together and applies it to a real life situation in your world.
