Number of Participants and Cohort Groups

Cohort Groups and Recommended Numbers of Participants  

When it comes to our Symphony 100 workshops, we've found that keeping groups to about 10 participants hits the sweet spot for engagement and learning. But don't worry, if you have a couple more people, we can stretch it to 12 without losing that excellent interaction and effectiveness!


If your group is larger than that, that's no problem at all. We split into multiple cohorts, ensuring each group stays at 12 or fewer. This way, everyone gets the most out of the experience. It's all about keeping the quality high and making learning impactful!


Focus on Actual Learning

It's not just about completing the program; it's about ensuring participants genuinely understand and internalize the concepts. This involves diving deep so team members can fully grasp and embrace the ideas.

Focus on Actual Learning
Focus on Actual Learning

The real success is seeing them apply this understanding immediately in real-world scenarios, transforming theory into actionable skills. This shouldn't be a one-time event; team members should continuously integrate what they've discovered into their daily routines.


Development is dynamic. As individuals apply their insights, they should reflect, seek feedback, and refine their methods. This cycle of understanding, implementing, and enhancing guarantees the best outcomes.


Organizations can enhance their development, ensuring knowledge is retained and evolves with new challenges. With our guidance, you can achieve this continuous growth and transformation.


Additional Services

Please be aware that workshops are not included in the package when you buy an assessment and profile. We are pleased to offer you and your team one of our Standard Workshops, a Strategic Integrated Solution from our Signature Series, or personalized sessions through our coaching programs.

Successful Facilitation Considerations
Facilitation Success - The Key to Lasting Impact
Facilitation Success

Facilitation Success: The Key to Lasting Impact

Effective facilitation is the cornerstone of meaningful change, driving team development, leadership growth, and organizational transformation. Whether you’re considering an internal, external, or hybrid facilitation approach, the success of any initiative hinges on the right strategy and the facilitator’s ability to create engagement, foster collaboration, and guide teams toward actionable outcomes. Choosing the most suitable facilitation model is more than logistics; it’s about aligning resources with your goals for maximum impact.


Equally important is the caliber of the facilitator. A successful facilitator combines several attributes, including emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and adaptability, with specific experience and competencies in tools like Everything DiSC® or The Five Behaviors®. By understanding the roles and requirements for success, you can empower facilitators to drive transformative results, no matter the scope or complexity of your goals.


Internal, External, and Hybrid Facilitator Approaches

Using External Facilitators

PROS/Benefits vs. CONS/Risks and Best Practices

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. 

Pros and Benefits

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.

Cons and Risks

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.

Best Practices Badge

Regular Feedback

Establish a system for regular feedback and check-ins during training to ensure alignment and promptly address any emerging issues.


Confidentiality Agreements

Implement strong confidentiality agreements to protect sensitive information and maintain trust.


Provide Comprehensive Briefings

The external facilitator should be thoroughly briefed on the organization's culture, values, and specific needs to tailor the training effectively.


Integration Plans

Develop a plan for integrating the insights and strategies introduced by the external facilitator into ongoing internal practices to ensure sustained impact.


Internal Facilitators

Using Internal Facilitators

PROS/Benefits vs. CONS/Risks and Best Practices



Pros and Benefits

In-depth Organizational Knowledge

Internal facilitators deeply understand the company's culture, processes, and history. This enables them to tailor training sessions that are directly relevant and resonate more with employees.

Pros and Benefits

Cost-Effectiveness

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

Internal facilitators can continuously reinforce learning principles and track development progress over time, facilitating sustained learning and integration of new skills.


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

As part of the organization, internal facilitators might have existing biases or be perceived as having biases that could affect the openness and honesty of feedback and session participation.

Cons and Risks

Limited External Perspectives

Internal facilitators may lack exposure to different industries or innovative practices that external professionals might bring.


Resource Allocation

Allocating internal staff to facilitate sessions can strain resources, especially if these employees also have other roles and responsibilities within the organization.




Best Practices

Continuous Professional Development

Provide ongoing training and development opportunities for internal facilitators to ensure they are exposed to new ideas and methodologies.

Best Practices Badge

Rotation and Fresh Perspectives

Rotate internal facilitators periodically or bring in guest trainers to keep the training content fresh and engaging.


Clear Boundaries

Establish clear boundaries to minimize biases and ensure that facilitators can maintain objectivity.


Feedback Mechanisms

Implement robust feedback mechanisms to continually improve the training sessions based on participant insights and experiences.


Balancing Responsibilities

Ensure internal facilitators have sufficient time and resources to dedicate to training without compromising their other responsibilities.

Using a Hybrid of Internal & External Facilitators

PROS/Benefits vs. CONS/Risks and Best Practices


Pros and Benefits

Comprehensive Expertise

Combines the in-depth organizational knowledge of internal facilitators with the specialized skills and fresh perspectives of external experts, enhancing the Everything DiSC® training content, making it relevant, and enriching it with diverse insights.

Pros and Benefits

Enhanced Credibility

The involvement of external experts can enhance the perceived credibility of the Everything DiSC® programs, especially on complex subjects where external validation is essential.

 

Flexibility and Resource Efficiency

The hybrid model allows organizations to manage resources more efficiently. Internal facilitators handle the bulk of ongoing development needs, while external facilitators can be brought in for specialized training or during peak periods, reducing the strain on internal resources.


Continuous Learning and Improvement

Internal facilitators can learn new techniques and skills from their external counterparts, enhancing their training capabilities. This ongoing professional development helps maintain high standards of facilitation within the organization.


Customization and Relevance

External facilitators can adapt their knowledge to the organization's context, leveraging internal facilitators' insights to address unique challenges and needs specific to Everything DiSC.



Cons and Risks

Coordination Challenges

Strong coordination and communication are required to ensure consistency in training objectives, methodologies, and outcomes. Misalignments can lead to mixed messages and diminished training effectiveness.

Cons/Risks

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

While more resource-efficient in some respects, a hybrid approach can increase costs compared to using only internal facilitators. Budgets must account for external facilitator fees, including travel and accommodation expenses.


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.


Best Practices

Establish Clear Roles and Responsibilities

Define specific roles for both internal and external facilitators to avoid overlap and ensure accountability.

Best Practices Badge

Align on Training Goals, Content, and Methodologies

Ensure all facilitators are aligned on the objectives, content, and methodologies of Everything DiSC® to provide a consistent training experience.


Facilitate Regular Communication

Hold regular communication and feedback sessions among all facilitators to share insights, progress, and challenges.


Encourage Learning Opportunities

Allow internal facilitators to learn from external experts through shadowing, co-facilitation, and post-training debriefs.


Carefully Select External Facilitators

Choose external facilitators based on their compatibility with the organizational culture and experience working in hybrid environments.



***Note on the Hybrid Approach

Implementing a hybrid approach to facilitation can significantly enhance the effectiveness of Everything DiSC training programs by leveraging the unique strengths of both internal and external resources.

Ignoring Organizational Culture

Take Care in Selecting the Best Facilitators for Your Organization
Take Care in Selecting the Best Facilitators for Your Organization

Failing to consider the organization's unique culture and dynamics can lead to ineffective facilitation. Facilitators should tailor their approach to align with the organizational context.


Lack of Preparation

Inadequate preparation can undermine the success of training sessions. Facilitators should thoroughly prepare, understand the audience, and customize content accordingly.


Failure to Engage Participants

Monotonous delivery and lack of interactive elements can disengage participants. Facilitators should use a variety of techniques to keep sessions dynamic and engaging.


Ignoring Feedback

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


Inadequate Follow-up

Without proper follow-up, the impact of training can diminish. Facilitators should ensure mechanisms are in place to reinforce learning and track progress post-session.
