Does the facilitator allow for flexibility in the agenda?
At Peryam and Associates we say, the success of a meeting is determined before the session starts. Much thought and preparation goes into planning a facilitated session. On average preparation takes 1 to 1.5 days per session day. With that said if unforeseen or new information surfaces during a session that would suggest a deviation to the stated objectives and agenda, the facilitator at the discretion of the group will either adjust the agenda on the fly or ask to reschedule the meeting. Sometimes issues can be set aside to a parking lot and the meeting continues as planned. • How is information captured and shared in a facilitated session? Today with electronics making documenting easier than ever there is a tendency to document during a session. Peryam and Associates believes that the main focus of a group session is to capitalize on individual thinking, therefore we still prefer all work during the session to be displayed on flip charts and Post-its so that it can be seen.
