Facilitating Improvement Workshops

Introduction

Facilitating Improvement Workshops is a focused, practical programme for Continuous Improvement practitioners who want to get more from the teams they work with. In today’s environment, where facilitation takes place both face-to-face and virtually, the ability to bring people together, keep them engaged and harness their collective knowledge and ideas is more important than ever. 

Through case studies, real-world examples, videos and interactive exercises, the learning is brought to life in an engaging and practical way. Tailored to your organisation’s needs, the workshop can focus on facilitating specific Continuous Improvement tools and techniques or on developing broader facilitation skills. Participants build the confidence and capability to lead productive, engaging and results-focused workshops in both face-to-face and virtual environments. 

Participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of a facilitator and the key skills required. 

• Prepare for, open and close workshops and meetings effectively. 

• Manage workshops including agendas, timing, tools and materials. 

• Facilitate groups using a range of improvement tools and techniques, tailored to organisational needs. 

• Apply decision-making approaches and tools to support group decisions. 

• Manage conflict and difficult behaviours through effective intervention. 

• Engage participants and build genuine team-based working. 

Why choose this programme?
