facilitator development
The role of the facilitator in the Innovation BoosterTM process is to:
- define the issue together with the problem-owner prior to the Innovation BoosterTM
- prepare a plan that tailors the Innovation BoosterTM process to the issue
- guide the participants through the Innovation BoosterTM process
Argenta Europ Ltd. provides facilitator training courses to companies who want to develop a cadre of internal facilitators who can take over and manage the Innovation BoosterTM process themselves.
Specific objectives for the basic facilitator development programme are that, by the end of a 3 day course, participants will:
- have understood the role of Innovation BoostersTM in the context of organisational innovation
- be able to explain simple models of the source of individual creativity
- know that individuals have different creative styles and problem-solving preferences e.g. KAI, MBTI, Learning Styles
- experience the nature of facilitation
- have understood the difference between facilitation and training or instruction
- have begun to develop facilitation skills e.g. active listening, non-verbal communication, empathy
- have understood the role of internal facilitators within an organisational innovation programme
- have understood how to build and manage a creative environment for others
- have practised the facilitation of a portfolio of Innovation BoosterTM techniques
- have developed an initial Innovation BoosterTM programme of techniques and ideas using the 3 Diamond model
- have met strategies for managing the problem-owner of a Booster
