Best Practice Tip for this Issue: Reviewing Decisions
At the close of a session, review the Decision List to remind participants of decisions made. Consider the following as you review each decision:
- Change / Benefit - Identify all the changes recommended. Ask, "If we make this change, what will the benefit be?"
- Potential Barriers / Success Strategies - Determine potential barriers to implementing the decision and create success strategies that will overcome those barriers.
- Poll the Jury - Ask each participant individually if he/she can support the decisions agreed upon by the group.
Reviewing decisions, building consensus, managing dysfunctions are all skills that great facilitators know and use with ease. To learn these and others, register for The Effective Facilitator course. For more details, call (800) 824-2850.
