Provided by RANA International Inc.
A highly intensive and interactive 5 day program, providing experienced facilitators with the theory, skills and confidence to facilitate the process of large-scale changes and interventions.
You Are Now Your Organization s or Your Client s Trouble-Shooter:
You ve worked hard to perfect your skills as a person who can match the content of a situation with the how to s of managing it. This Workshop is the opportunity to create a framework of intervention for yourself, aimed at increasing your success rate with helping your clients, internal or external.
You will be placed in front of the emerging fact of organizations, that many, if not all of the ways in which it does things are not integrated. The people of the organization are understandably confused, and waste precious time, and precious money figuring out what to do, and especially, how to do it. You learn the Integration Model, by which organizations can reduce wasted effort and increase their bottom line, working with people and not through slash and burn re-engineering.
As in Facilitation: Processes, Techniques and Logistics, you are measured against a standard for intervention skills, the Intervener s CoreSkills Inventory. And as in Facilitation: Processes, Techniques and Logistics, you are coached, and provided with feedback on your approach, your style and your chances of success as an Intervener. When you graduate successfully, you might wish to apply to become a facilitator certifier with the International Association of Facilitators.
