Facilitators
When do I want to hire a facilitator?
When I want a group planning, model-building, team building, or decision-making process to be managed by someone outside the group. I want the facilitator to have skills in group processes and be neutral about the content of the discussion.
The two reasons for hiring a facilitator are:
- Complex or difficult group dynamics have made meetings dysfunctional.
- A person without vested interest in the outcome needs to lead the meeting.
The methodologies used by facilitators are interactive and participatory, involving those attending the meeting in creating a solution to a problem or creating a plan. They assume that the participants have the authority and ability to deal with the problem or develop the plan.
Training
When do I send someone to training programs?
When I want to have a competency, knowledge, skill or attitude that is not present or insufficiently present in the company. While there are many ways of gaining that competency a relatively efficient way is through training. Training methodologies run from monologues (without questions and answers) to interactive, participative, learning teams and yet the goal remains the same, changes in behavior.
Because people have different learning styles, creating a training program that meets all of these styles in some optimal way is difficult. Good training leans more and more toward providing the exact skills, etc. in the actual working situation of the client's specific location. For these reasons and others, training is increasingly interactive and participative.

Training
Competency-Based Framework for Training
Team Play Consulting Inc. is committed to enhancing the capacity of communities and organizations in a meaningful and relevant way with strength and solution focused facilitation. To this end we facilitate all training from a competency-based framework.
We will work closely and intimately with all professionals or groups that will be involved in the training to ensure that we are tailoring the training to meet the specific needs of the individuals who have requested it and who ultimately will receive it.
A trained consultant from the Team Play Consulting
Inc. delivery team will meet with and interview your team members and/or group to ask distinctively designed questions
that will inform the training and any subsequent follow up work.
Another advantage of using this approach in developing and implementing training is that it will give the organization / group an objective lens from which to view the inner workings and relationships of their team.
Team Play Consulting Inc. will use this information to assess the functionality of the team / organization and make specific recommendations for enhancing the quality of the team, ultimately increasing the productivity and efficiency of the organization.
Finally, Team Play Consulting Inc. is totally committed to building capacity and self-sustaining learning organizations. In this regard, the interviews described above will assist the Team Play Consulting Inc. delivery team in identifying members of the organization who would be an asset to train further in specific areas that will assist the organization with internal self-sustaining professional development.
Team Play Consulting
Inc. will build in follow up supports or any other measures necessary
and agreed upon, to ensure that our role becomes minimal and we can
complete our work, leaving behind a well-informed, trained, self-sustaining
organization!
