Details:

The planning for the community building session is almost complete. The last details are how to conduct the plenary sessions for sharing information across groups to develop key priorities and themes that will need to be addressed.

There are 2 sessions that need to be planned. One is to review the work done by intact work teams. In this larger session, the goal is to spot patterns and identify themes that can be used to plan actions. These patterns or themes will come from the stop–continue–start charts developed by each functional group. In this way, not only will the changes that need to happen be identified, but aspects of effective work (those things that work well and should be continued) can also be reinforced.

The external consulting team strongly recommended a "cross-functional, by-level grouping" for the first step. Their aim is to promote understanding of priorities and show how different issues at different levels of the organization can be aligned. The internal consulting team is excited about being the primary facilitators for these sessions. Everyone recognizes that a structured approach will be critical (for timing and to control decision–making inputs). The approach called Nominal Group Technique (NGT) seems to be ideally suited to this task.

You want to prepare yourself for conducting the session. Use the library, Internet, or other resources to research NGT. Because each grouping will be of a differing size, you want to tailor the overall steps of NGT to the situation you will facilitate. To do this, you must create a meeting session plan (a document of 4–5 pages) that will answer the following questions:

  • What is the goal of the session?
  • How will the nominal group technique be used to achieve this goal?
  • How will the members of the team work together (guidelines for effective participation)?
  • What specific steps and tasks will be involved in achieving the goal?
  • How much time will be allocated to each step or task? What voting mechanism is most appropriate for the size of the group and the specific stage of the process?
  • What will the outcome look like? What will the group present to the other levels?

Download a sample format here. Your assignment is to complete the missing sections (in red) and develop any additional participant materials or instructions to assist the group in completing the task.

CHANGING FOR SUCCESS

What is the goal of the session?
As the facilitator of the group, the overall goal of the meeting is to generate new ideas
that can propel the success of the system. Success is achieved when there are set goals and
objectives that a team should work to achieve. If they are all attained, it means that the
session was a success. The session brings all the stakeholders together and brainstorms
possible ways to improve the organization. To appeal to others in the meeting, it is important
to structure brief notes and incorporating questions to ask others. The ‘‘what if'' questions
will entirely dominate the presentation (Kaner, 2014). These questions help to analyze
possible outcomes when a certain decision is made.
How will the nominal group technique be used to achieve this goal?
To properly synthesize ideas into something meaningful, the nominal group technique
would be relatively important. The nominal group techniques are used to allow introverts and
shy people to contribute their ideas. Everyone in the session has to contribute something. No
one should be left out because their ideas could be the one the group is looking for. To
achieve the aforementioned goals, the nominal group techniques will be used to give all the
members in the group an opportunity to give out their opinion. The overall facilitator of the
groups will welcome all the participants and explain the procedure and purpose of the
meeting (Kaner, 2014).
