New research indicates project management skills, including the ability to effectively execute projects and identify and manage project risk, will be some of the most sought after skills over the next five years.*Economist Intelligence Unit, "Innovations in the Improvement of Staff Performance." 2008.

Everyone understands the critical importance of project management skills and the increasing demand for PM professionals. However, when an organization looks to hire or contract a PM professional will you stand out?

One way to separate yourself from other PM professionals is to have a set of refined skills that are different; a set of skills that increases your ability to achieve project management results faster, more efficiently and more effectively.

One skill set that is critical, and increases results, is the ability to facilitate a group to desired outcomes. The ability to build consensus, keep the group focused, generate energy, manage dysfunction and gain agreement.

Based on The Effective Facilitator course, you will learn the skills to become a great facilitator: skills that will separate you from your peers and improve your ability to lead project teams.

Stuart Smith, a Certified Professional Facilitator (CPF-IAF), will share with us the keys to successful facilitation that he has learned over 20 years of facilitating groups � to include project teams responsible for system-wide technology and quality management system deployment and strategic plan execution.
