When Should You Use A Facilitator
- Cross Functional Groups. A cross organizational group is formed to develop a plan or address a specific issue and there is no one leader to manage the process. An independent facilitator that can manage the process will ensure that the team works together well to achieve its purpose.
- Content not Process. The group needs all team members to focus on business content not managing the process of designing and facilitating an effective meeting.
- Intervention. Changes in the business environment mean that an intervention needs to happen within the group. This intervention requires a higher level of facilitation skills then is currently within the group.
- Neutrality/Anonymity. The issues that need to be discussed are sensitive and a level of anonymity needs to be maintained. Examples of this are when you want to gather feedback from a group and need to have an unbiased and confidential facilitator to create a safe environment where people can discuss issues freely. Eg New Manager Assimilation.
- Challenging Group Dynamics The group needs to needs support to keep them focused and on track, to deal with difficult personalities and dysfunctional behavior, to build consensus when people disagree, and to ensure that full commitment is gained for follow through.
- Vested Interests. The leader of the group is strongly vested in a particular position, but wants to be open to other alternatives
- Critical Results. If the results of the meeting are critical to the success of the enterprise, and there are many strong opinions, and the need for creative thinking and alignment of execution.
- Lack of Facilitation Expertise. If there is a lack of experience or expertise in managing groups.
