E-Books →Handbook of Professional Facilitation Theory, Tools, & Design

In the Handbook of Professional Facilitation: Theory, Tools, and Design, Pepe Nummi-a facilitator with decades of experience working with groups - introduces a unique approach to group decision making based on structured dialogue. People tend to shoot down new ideas, especially if the idea is not their own. Pepe Nummi-a seasoned facilitator who has dedicated his life to studying human interaction-has solved the decision-making problem by creating a technique where people need to understand other perspectives and points of view while sharing their own. People don't just make decisions together but engage in breakthrough decision making-a process where the interchange of ideas leads to new insights and a shared understanding about how to move forward as a group.
In this book you'll learn:
* The most effective group methods for successful decision making
