AIMED AT This workshop is aimed at delegates who are responsible for facilitating a group of people objectively. It is ideal for those who want practical tips on how to deal with groups and the way in which they interact, on how to maximise a group’s potential and the right tools to use to generate and evaluate ideas within a group and help the decision making process and to design and manage an action plan. OBJECTIVES Knowing Your Group Any time a group of people comes together to work there are dynamics at play. External forces, the history of the group, sub-groupings and individual members, membership within the group, group norms, the size of the group and informal and formal leadership within the group are just some of those dynamics.

Set a timescale for each action – but be realistic – do not expect the impossible. By the end of this session, delegates should be able to appreciate the importance of the creating an action plan for the group to follow, including:
