Facilitation is a fundamental set of skills all leaders need.
Whether you’re leading change, generating ideas, tackling a
knotty team problem or trying to make meeting-time more effective – leaders
need to play the role of facilitator at times. Facilitation is fundamental to group functioning.
Many teams left to their own devices tend to flounder. They
get distracted, diverted or lost in the detail. Good results need good group
process. Without it, meetings stall, conversations bog-down, good ideas get
quashed, opinions polarise, decisions get hijacked, people disengage and
actions remain unclear. Facilitators help teams maintain momentum, stay
focused, keep on-track with tasks and challenge behaviours that get in the
way of good teamwork. And that’s what leaders do too. Good leaders often act as facilitators. Facilitation
skills slot in neatly to support the key roles leaders play as engagers,
mobilisers, team-builders and change-makers. They help teams share
information, set goals, sort priorities and make decisions. Facilitative
leadership is a set of skills, a suite of tools and a kind of personal
influence every leader can benefit from using more of – and it’s a style staff generally prefer. [Read more
on facilitation & leadership in our Facilitation FactFile]. That’s where our Fundamental
Facilitation clinic comes in.... “Thoroughly enjoyed
the workshop - delivered on facilitation strategies and models and has given
me much food for thought... An informative, practical approach with good
practice opportunities. It gave me more confidence to apply different
tools in different scenarios.” Natasha Hynes – Centrelink Fundamental FACILITATION – Getting great results through good group process... BRISBANE –
APRIL 4-5… TOOWOOMBA – MAY 23-24… Don’t let our course title fool you into thinking ‘Fundamental’
just means ‘basic’. We chose it because facilitation is a fundamental
set of skills leaders and other professionals from all walks of
organisational life need and because facilitation is fundamental to
getting good results and high levels of engagement in any group context [Brochure

how to use facilitation tools effectively for themselves “I’m
required in my workrole to facilitate groups.
Before this training, I knew my content well enough but didn’t have the tools
to keep the team motivated or interested in the process. I got a lot from
this course and learnt simple tools I can apply every day and I’m getting
some very positive feedback.” Kylie Dunlop, Dept of Environment & Resource Management Facilitation is not just for leaders.
Groups work better together when everyone has some level of facilitation
ability. So developing these skills more broadly in your team isn’t a
bad idea either. This workshop provides plenty of opportunities to practise.

aspects that really matter for good group facilitation. Topics and tools

groups ·

plans “I learnt lots – a
great workshop to attend. Practical exercises were very helpful and the
toolkit is a great resource. The facilitator “went with the flow” on topics
presented by participants which were outside the planned schedule and his own
knowledge base and skills clearly came through.” Barbara
