A very exciting experience with LFA was in November when I was requested to coach and facilitate a formulation process for a Revitalised Provincial Leprosy Elimination Program in Cambodia.
Mind the ‘monkey’!
For the first time in my 20 years facilitating LFA workshops, a client insisted to modify the ‘brainstorming’ procedure and emphasised the use of ‘interviews’ instead to acquire information from individual stakeholders.
Apparently it was considered difficult to get the participants committed to a workshop that would take more than one day….
The “Shooting Exercise” – an effective short-cut procedure!
In certain workshop situations we apply the “Shooting Exercise” as a ‘quick and dirty’ analysis procedure. Particularly when time is limited, a group can provide feedback and ideas effectively and efficiently in a very short time.
Just a 3-hour workshop: Participants loved it!
At the end of a 3-day training on Results-Based Management for 50 senior staff of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Tanzania, contracted and organised by the UONGOZI Institute, Institute of African Leadership for Sustainable Development, I was requested to insert an ad-hoc workshop on the reasons and possible solutions for the reasonably poor (60%) performance of the Health Sector.
Room set-up: Working on the long side …
Each time when the workshop and training rooms are set up by the hosts, it appears that the trainer or facilitator is supposed to perform at the short side of the room. There you mostly find the projection screen and the ‘teacher table’….
However, I always want to re-set the room in a way to turn the positioning of the participants to make them face the long side of the room instead.
