The Purpose
The purpose of the “Facilitate Meetings Effectively with Measurable Results” is to equip participants with tools and techniques to confidently guide the group through a collaborative process. The quality of the outcomes from a facilitated meeting hinges on the skills of the facilitator. The facilitator must be skillful in guiding the group through an orderly process, be able to diffuse interpersonal conflicts, manage participant input, bring out the best in everyone and conclude the meeting effectively.
The Problem
There are several problems that occur when professionals attend unproductive meetings. Research indicates that 50% of that meeting time is wasted because professionals are not engaged or do other work during the meeting. Unproductive meetings:
Cost organizations billions of dollars
Slow progress and performance
Increase errors and mistakes
Create frustration and resentment
Deliver poor to mediocre results
