Facilitation Skills for the Process Improvement Team Facilitator
 
description “Help, I’m a facilitator! Now what do I do? Where do I start?” Those are good questions, and we have some very good answers in this Process Improvement Team Facilitator Workshop.

We will provide the novice process improvement team facilitator with the skills and knowledge to facilitate any team through the problem-solving/improvement process. We will examine the roles team members play and various types of teams as well as the stages of team development. You will be given the opportunity to discuss and learn how to help the team with their planning, decision-making, group dynamics and their interpersonal relationships. And we will explore various facilitator behaviors, including the Do’s and Don’ts.
