Meetings Are Nothing More Than A Tool To Get Results

• We’ve all been in meetings with the “wise old owl” who philosophizes at great length.
• We all know what it feels like when there is an “elephant in the room.”

A successfully facilitated meeting helps to achieve and exceed project goals, by improving issues resolution, decision making, and risk management. Facilitation is an art and science that consists of a set of skills that can be learned.

Successful facilitators can recognize and balance the needs of the meeting, the individuals, and the team.

This webinar discusses typical challenging behaviors of individuals and groups and associates them with various animal metaphors.

Star will review a few facilitation strategies for key challenging behaviors.

Learning objectives include:

• The fundamentals of facilitation
• A perspective shift that encourages the use of meetings as a tool
• Overview of the top individual challenging meeting behaviors
• Strategies for dealing with some challenging behaviors

The images may be simple to grasp, but this is not a basic meeting management webinar.

In an agile world, team members are empowered to make important decisions within the context of the behavioral architecture, without having to ask permission from supervisors or managers.

But these supervisors and managers are coming from a lifetime of learning how to succeed in a hierarchical world, so they will need to leave behind those ingrained lessons.

In order for agile to be successful at scale, leaders will need to change.

UberEats and McDonald’s now use drones for food delivery. Alexa and Google Assistant are now regarded as significant “assisting companions” for both home and office.

These are just examples of business and operations digitalization happening across all industries including government and non-profit entities.

The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella says, “We are just starting a multi-trillion industry.” Every business will need to have a digital strategy in place if they are to survive.  This trend, impacts learning design and delivery.

Thought leaders like John Hagel (LinkedIn profile) and Josh Bersin (LinkedIn profile) suggest that there must be a shift in the types of skills that must be developed.

We need to redirect our energy from being overly focused on skills, roles and tasks based on instructions. There is an increasing need to begin to “scale” capacities for people to handle unknown, unexpected, and rapidly changing technologies; acquiring new skills that workers need when automation and A.I. take over many of the routine tasks and roles that people do.

The new capacities should include:

1. Thinking through problems,
2. Data analysis,
3. Troubleshooting,
4. Risks analysis,
5. Design thinking,
6. Decision mapping & many others.

The challenge is, how do we disrupt our own learning practices to scale employees capacities? How and where do we start?

Topics to cover:

• Why will digital disruptions change the face of work, now and in the future?
• What elements are needed when “scaling” workers’ capacities?
• How do you assess your current learning ecosystems and integrate “scaling” capacities?
• What are the 7 steps for ”scaling” capacities?
• How does “scaling” capacities impact learning design, development, delivery and technologies?
• How do you, as L&D professionals become active contributors in “scaling” of capacities?
• Three case studies will be shared in the webinar.
