Training in the Participlan process
There are two aspects to training in facilitation and the use of Participlan as a visual mapping process that leads to better decisions
- The first element is understanding the principles of the process to build confidence … This is handled by a specialist training company Business Presentation Group a sister company of Participlan.
- The second element is the application of the theory to your organisations specific needs and this element is the space we as Participlan operate in as a collaborative initiative with you.
Often these two elements are integrated from the beginning of the process, depeding on your needs.
Benefits of the process …
- Silent generation of ideas provides divergent thinking and avoids ‘group think’ (one stream of thinking).
- All participate and all ideas are heard and are objectively assessed because the message unfolds too quickly to pin ideas to people.
- Evaluating of ideas is democratic which results in buy-in to the conclusions.
- The process is stimulating and fun and takes approximately 50% of normal meeting time.
- Because the process is focused and follows a clear agenda results are assured.
- The real costs of a meeting are the opportunity costs of the people in the room so generating an ROI is relatively easy to achieve through the efficiency of the process.
