Facilitation
Facilitation within a team building event is a great way to improve the focus of your event, as it gives your guests some tangible team building qualities to work on. Here at Out Of The Office, we can provide an experienced team building consultant or facilitator to monitor feedback and evaluation during or after your event. This will give your event more focus and keep guests energised and teams united.
A team which has a lack of understanding between colleagues will result in frustration. We encourage open discussion to highlight such issues and work on methods of moving forward. Facilitation within a team building event will help teams and individuals to identify areas where they work well and areas for improvement. Our aim is to allow guests to learn in a fun and relaxed environment allowing us to instigate positive changes in behaviour.
Our facilitation element covers a number of areas including:
- Establishing clear aims and objectives
- Encouraging honest and open discussion
- Ensuring your team stays focused on the task
- Encouraging evaluation and change
- Establishing issues and areas for discussion
- Challenging existing assumptions and behaviours to encourage different perceptions
- Encouraging understanding
What Happens On The Day?
- Working alongside yourself, we will highlight two key objectives and skills required to complete your event; for example communication, leadership, planning, delegation etc
- Roles will be assigned and a plan of action made for the task ahead
- Our facilitator will monitor how your team works within these skill sets and objectives, and also how guests work within their agreed roles
- You will have the opportunity to ask pertinent questions to challenge the success of our agreed plan, so as to encourage ongoing evaluation and appropriate change
- At the end of your event, our facilitator will provide an evaluation and discuss the positive elements of the agreed approach
- Two further key objectives for improvement will then be agreed upon and your guests will be given the opportunity to put them into practice
- This will continue through a series of 4-6 events allowing our facilitator to compile a ‘discussion list' of objectives and monitor your guest’s improvement
- A motivational sum up and ‘discussion list' of objectives and agreed successful skills learned will be delivered, alongside any future goals we think are appropriate for your team
What Happens After The Event?
- We can provide a questionnaire and a graphic and written presentation of all your guest's feedback of the event; including enjoyment, team building development, skills tested and improved, skills still needing improvement and any other areas you feel are relevant
- We can also provide, in addition, a detailed written report of the facilitator's findings or arrange a post-event meeting with our facilitator to discuss their findings from your event
