Workshop Facilitation: Lead Groups to Clear Decisions

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Everyone has had their say. The meeting ends in ten minutes. Who gets to make the decision?

That question is easier to answer before the workshop starts. A good agenda makes room for different views and gives people a way to compare them. It also tells the group what it needs to leave with and who will carry the decision forward. I designed this course to help you build that kind of workshop.

What you’ll build

• A decision-focused agenda that matches the time, people, and information available.

• Participation methods that bring quieter voices and independent observations into the room.

• A way to surface disagreement, agree on decision criteria, and compare workable options.

• A decision record and follow-up plan with clear owners and review dates.

Who I designed this for

This course is for managers, consultants, project leads, and team facilitators who run sessions where several people must make a decision together. You can practice with the case exercises or bring an upcoming workshop you’re already responsible for.

How you’ll practice

I’m Dr. Law Payne. My Doctor of Business Administration specializes in Organizational Leadership and Development. I designed the worksheets and worked examples so you can rehearse how to guide a discussion when people disagree and write an outcome the group can use afterward.

Enroll with one workshop you need to lead. Build an agenda you can run, with a clear decision and follow-up plan at the end.
