We are looking forward to reading the latest book by Dorothy Strachan and Marian Pitters Managing Facilitated Processes: A Guide for Facilitators, Managers, Consultants, Event Planners, Trainers and Educators. (Jossey-Bass/Wiley Publishers, 2009)
Based on the authors’ previous work, we expect this to be a comprehensive “must-have” guide to planning, designing and executing high performance interactive events. From the publisher:
Managing Facilitated Processes helps people make thoughtful decisions about managing successful gatherings. The book’s ten chapters are divided into three parts:
From Contact to Contract—building customized agreements; eighteentypes of facilitated processes, their deliverables and unique features
Approach and Style—ensuring integrated, customized, and systematic elements; a forget-me-not prompter; effective management styles
Management x 5: Participants, Speakers, Logistics, Documents,Feedback—practice guidelines, examples, and time-saving tools
Managing Facilitated Processes also includes a companion Web site with handy e-versions of the book’s tools and templates.
Check it out, and let us know what you think.
