What to look for when looking for strategic planning facilitators
by Cheng Xuan Low Optimise companies sales processA strategic planning facilitator is essential for the professional growth and development of your non-profit organization. Understanding how to work efficiently with a group can be a difference in the success of your group and guide them in developing a successful plan as a team beyond the individual level. These facilitators are not the same as public keynote speakers and act more than a guide or coach for the group, facilitating them in the right direction of their goals.
Communication
The strategic planning facilitators must be adept at communicating with a number of individuals at once. Having to interact directly with a team made of diverse employees requires a level of one-on-one communication that is required for this type of facilitator. They can get their point and position across clearly to all of those in attendance for the meeting and also utilize group communication when necessary.
Organization
One of the goals of strategic planning facilitators is to keep the group on task and to direct them in the direction of success. In order to stay on task and guide your team, they must be organized individuals who are prepared and able to access the tools they need in a matter of moments to keep the planning moving.
Management Style
Different strategic planning facilitators come into a session with their own management style. Based upon your industry, organization’s style, and team members, it is essential to utilize a facilitator whose management style is reflective of your own at your organization. These facilitators will take control of the session and keep the group on task during the meeting.
Conflict Management
When strategizing within a group, you can expect room for conflict and disagreement to arise within the discussion. The larger the group, the larger the risk of this happening. When choosing strategic planning facilitators, the best ones are prepared for this type of interpersonal conflict and have the skills of conflict management. Those who are the most successful are the most confident in their position and know what signs to look for while facilitating.
For corporate organizations, it will be sales training for facilitation.
