Training Video: Train Facilitator (9:00)
The facilitator is key to the success of the HWPP. The Facilitator leads Design Team meetings and helps ensure that the program is making progress. The Facilitator enables the Design Team and Steering Committee to communicate regularly and collaborate productively.
A good Facilitator must demonstrates impartiality, communication skills, organization and optimism. A successful Facilitator is willing and able to work with different people from all levels of the organization. Group facilitation skills are essential for setting the right conditions for Design Team success.
A Facilitator may be recruited from among internal employees or hired as a consultant. The time commitment needed is about 10 hours a month.
