Pros and Benefits
Fresh Perspectives and Expertise
External facilitators bring new ideas, approaches, and industry insights that internal employees might not be exposed to, potentially driving innovation and improvement.
Objectivity and Neutrality
External facilitators are independent, so they provide unbiased guidance and can manage sensitive topics neutrally. This is beneficial in complex team dynamics or organizational changes.
High-Level Specialization and Experience
They often have specialized skills and experience in facilitating challenging or particular topics, having worked across different organizations and settings.
Enhanced Credibility
External experts' involvement can enhance the perceived credibility of Everything DiSC® programs, especially on complex subjects where external validation is essential.
Cons and Risks
Higher Costs
Hiring external facilitators can be more expensive than internal facilitators, mainly if travel or premium rates apply. Regular external training sessions significantly increase training budgets.
Less Organizational Familiarity
External facilitators may require more time to understand the organization's culture and dynamics, which could impact the effectiveness and relevance of training.
Possible Disconnect
There is a risk that external facilitators might not fully align with the company's values or the specific nuances of its internal processes, potentially leading to recommendations that are not feasible or well-suited to the organization's actual operating environment.
Dependency
Relying on external facilitators might create a dependency, where the organization feels unable to handle training and development internally, which might affect long-term capacity building.
Best Practices
Clearly Define Objectives
Ensure that the goals and expected outcomes of the training are clearly defined and communicated to the external facilitator.
Regular Feedback
Establish a system for regular feedback and check-ins during training to ensure alignment and promptly address any emerging issues.

Using an internal facilitator can be more budget-friendly over the long term, especially if frequent training sessions are needed. There are no additional costs, such as hiring fees or travel expenses.
Long-Term Engagement

Building Internal Capabilities
Developing facilitation skills within the organization can help build a pool of competent facilitators who can address various training needs as they arise, enhancing organizational capacity.
Cons and Risks
Potential Bias and Blind Spots

Provide ongoing training and development opportunities for internal facilitators to ensure they are exposed to new ideas and methodologies.
Rotation and Fresh Perspectives
Rotate internal facilitators periodically or bring in guest trainers to keep the training content fresh and engaging.

Customization and Relevance

Potential Conflict
Differences in training styles, methodologies, or personality types between internal and external facilitators might lead to conflicts, affecting the training environment and outcomes.
Increased Costs

Dependency Risks
Dependence on external facilitators for certain types of training might inhibit the long-term development of internal capabilities in those areas.
Confidentiality and Security
Introducing external facilitators into sensitive internal training sessions can raise confidentiality and data security issues. Strong agreements and trust are crucial to mitigate these risks.

Ignoring Feedback
Dismissing or not actively seeking feedback can prevent improvement. Facilitators should encourage and act on participant feedback to continually enhance their sessions.
