Overview

“How can I get all members of a group to participate in planning a project or event together, and build their commitment and responsibility so that they can successfully implement their plan?”

This course introduces a structured, participatory process to enable the successful implementation of a group project or event.

The Action Planning method uses the basic Focused Conversation and Consensus Workshop methods to engage all members of a group effectively, and so it builds commitment and ownership at all stages. The method is suitable for planning short to medium-term projects, or completing projects that have stalled.

This course is schedule directly after our Group Facilitation Methods course for the convenience of participants who would like to attend both.

Who is it for?

It is suitable for all those who want to be able to involve people more effectively in planning and implementing short to medium term projects together, including team leaders and project managers within organisations, those working collaboratively with partners and external stakeholders, youth and community workers and independent facilitators.

This course has no pre-requisite, but Group Facilitation Methods or some prior experience of facilitation or participatory planning is recommended.

What will I learn?

By the end of the course you will have
* understood the 8 stages of the Action Planning method, the role of each, and their flow
* understood where to use the method, and gained confidence in your ability to use it in your own situation
* consolidated and developed your understanding of the basic Focused Conversation and Consensus Workshop methods
* built links with others to promote future collaboration and support in the use of the methods

How will I be assessed?

There is no formal assessment for this course. Each partticipant wil recieve detailed helpful and friendly feedback from the trainers and the group after small-group practice sessions.

The course is accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management and participants are eligible for an ILM Development Award.

Address

Venue and travel details will be provided to participants in the joining instructions 2-3 weeks before the course.

Additional Notes

The course presents the method in a practical and participatory way. The method is first demonstrated, using a scenario with which participants can identify without having to role-play. It is then analysed and discussed, and then elements of the method are practiced individually or in small groups. Finally, participants plan how they will apply the method in their own situations.
