Who’s Got Your Back When Running Events?
The definition of facilitate is “to make easy” or “ease a process.” What a facilitator does is plan, guide and manage a group event to ensure that the group’s objectives are met effectively, with clear thinking, good participation and full buy-in from everyone who is involved.
To facilitate an event well, you must:
1) Understand the group’s desired outcome and the background and context of the meeting or event.
2) Design and plan the group process, and select the tools that best help the group progress towards that outcome.
3) Guide and control the group process to ensure that:
There is effective participation.
Participants achieve a mutual understanding.
Their contributions are considered and included in the ideas, solutions or decisions that emerge.
Participants take shared responsibility for the outcome.
4) Ensure that outcomes, actions, and questions are properly recorded and actioned, and appropriately dealt with afterward.
So, let’s fast-forward to your upcoming event… who is taking the role of the facilitator and have all the above requirements been considered?

He makes sure he is fully briefed by understanding the issues, challenges and mindset of his audiences and gives total and absolute attention to what is going on. He responds quickly and appropriately to on-stage dramas. He gained this depth of experience during nearly a decade working as a ‘live’ network BBC radio and TV presenter and reporter.
