multiple facilitator roles

Sun May 15 07:41:10 PDT 2005

Judi -- Welcome back, as it were. And thanks for the tale. It did indeed
bring smiles to my face -- but mostly exhaustion to all other parts of my
anatomy. And if this were an exceptional tale (one of a kind) I suppose you
enjoy the smiles and forget the exhaustion. But as we all know it is an oft
told/experienced story, and we do it to ourselves again and again. Even
worse, there is an alternative as we all know. Hard to tell whether one
should laugh or cry. For myself, crying is the most appropriate when I think
of the enormous needs and the extravagant waste of time, money and human
energy. Thank you!

Harrison, this one made me laugh out loud!  (in my small home office at
11:30 on a Saturday night with only two small sleeping children to absorb my
hysterical moment as they sleep.)

I haven't read the OS List in quite some time (I have 3513 unopened emails)
and 'don't get out much' lately (due to the small children sleeping in the
other room).

However, on occasion, late at night, when no one else is around, and the
dishes are all put away, I peruse the OS List. And perchance, this email is
the one I read tonight and I just have to reply.  The comments about the
'facilitator to facilitate the team of facilitated facilitators' brings back
that very memorable, quite horrible, memory of being just that for a series
of large management conferences - just before I was introduced to Open Space
by yourself, Larry and Birgitt in June 1995 at St. Ignatious College in
Guelph, ON.  Needless to say, those five days in that very quaint and
spiritual place was indeed a 'conversion' experience for me.

I have told this story often, probably to amortize the negative, or perhaps,
to 'get back' at all those who wronged me in some vicarous manner.

Here's the story, and given the hour (and the fact that the little beaners
will be up at 8) I'll try to be brief.

At the time I was working at a large multinational company as an internal OD
consultant.  I was absconded for a year long assignment by a VP in Australia
to help him plan and implement a series of management conferences for all of
the senior level managers around the world.  There were four conferences
planned, in Sydney, Rome, London and Fort Lauderdale, and each would have
about 200 top level managers invited.

My job was to design and implement the 'workshop' portions of the
Conference, essentially four 2 1/2 hour workshops that each manager would be
sequenced through  (i.e. mandatory attendance) during the three day
Conference.

So, of course, as any instructional designer knows, in order to set
objectives for a workshop, you first have to do a thorough needs assessment.
And that I did, with a representative sample, utilizing all the proper
techniques.  And from that needs assessment we/I determined that these
managers were most lacking skills in the areas of "Giving and Receiving
Feedback", "Building Teams", "Managing Change" and "Leadership" (or
whatever... it was a long time ago...).

The next step was to set the objectives, and then design the workshops.  So,
even though we (this large multinational corporation) has lots of material
on each of the four prioritized areas, we hired an expensive instructional
designer (from a large consulting company at considerable expense) to work
with us to design these workshops... and ensure that they were 'culturally
sensitive' around the world...  During the three to four month period, I
worked with the hired consultant, often late at night ( i.e. we had to talk
to the VP in Australia), to ensure we had the right content, examples,
exercises, etc.... and to ensure that she (the hired consultant) didn't quit
due to the micromanagement/harrassment at late hours by the VP (I sure hope
he is not on this list...)

Next we had to run a series of pilots, so ensure that the content, examples
and exercises really were 'right' and 'culturally sensitive' for the
audiences we faced around the world.

We finally got it right.  Now, my job was to hire a team of facilitators who
would facilitate the workshops around the world. And that I did - for a
considerable expense of time and money....(but we had plenty of both.. at
the time).  All of the facilitators came highly recommended... by someone of
reput (mostly from unknown OD colleagues who worked for the same company
around the world).

Next, my job was to get the facilitators up to speed - remotely (none of
them are located in the same city as I am). More late nights and nonstop
phone calls and faxes.. what did this mean, how come this example was used,
couldn't we change this portion to be more 'culturally sensitive'?  And we'd
scheduled a paid briefing the day prior to each event...

At this point in the process, I remember my VP from Australia commented on
the cost... something to the effect of "oh this is going to cost
$335/day/per participant (not including travel)".. and that is what they
would have to pay for a external leadership course.

And then came the big event, first in Sydney, as I recall. I was the
'facilitator to facilitate the team of facilitators', and, what a nightmare
it was.  Each facilitator wanted to be the best of the best (I presume that
given what they were paid, they wanted more work from my company).
Thereby, they each had to have all possible information and a thorough
preparation so that they would know how to deal with every possible
idiosyncracy and quirk (or at least not be blamed if something didn't go
according to plan).

Well, there were things that didn't go according to plan.  Like the fact
that one very well know VP, used the workshops to express mutiny, and many
people in the workshops he attended agreed with his sentiments and bonded
with him (he left the company, along with several of his newly converted
allies a month after the Conference).

And several of the facilitators got bent when they saw that the participants
weren't exactly keen on the content they were delivering...(perhaps the fact
that the Senior VP of HR went around to each room and checked attendance
didn't help the spirit of learning either..).

And there was some dissertion among participants (particularly in Fort
Lauderdale where the weather was beautiful and we were at a five star golf
and country club..)

During each event, mainly, my job was chief psychologist, mediator and
counselor (for which I am not qualified - particularly late at night when
all I wanted to do was have a drink and get to bed..).

Well, to wrap this rather long story up, needless to say, we didn't get the
best level one evaluations (or level two, three or four).  My VP in
Australia didn't  think that I was that stellar, and I felt that I that my
year was... well... except for the fact that I got to travel around the
world, stay in expensive hotels and eat and drink in the fanciest of
restaraunts... wasted.

And we could have accomplished so much... if we had only Opened Space.....
but then again... given the control needed by my Australian VP and his
counterparts.... I am not sure that they would have been open to try it...

So it goes... and I am glad to tell the story to the list, if only to
amortize the negative and 'get back' at all those who wronged me... a long
time ago.

Hope someone else laughed out loud... in their small home office late at
night.....
