Evolution of the Creative Facilitator in Business
As businesses grow more complex, facilitators today are expected to do more than guide discussions. They’re the catalysts for pushing teams to break through conventional creative boundaries and ignite innovation 🚀
In our next Buttermixer, we’re excited to have Arne van Oosterom (Founder of Future Skills Academy) lead us in a dynamic exploration of the evolving role of facilitators in today’s rapidly-changing world!
Together, we’ll explore how facilitators can adapt to meet the challenges of a competitive global market, especially in fields like technology, design, and marketing. We’ll also share tried-and-true techniques that spark creativity—essentials for every facilitator’s toolkit.
What we’ll cover:
🔥 The expanding role of facilitators: Discover how facilitation has become a critical strategic asset in modern organizations.
⚙️ Techniques that work: Validate your current facilitation toolkit and enrich it with new methods that drive engagement.
🔮 Future trends: Explore what’s next for facilitators—from upskilling leaders to the potential impact of AI on the facilitation landscape.
Whether you’re just starting your facilitation journey or seasoned in the art, this session will bring fresh insights and actionable strategies to elevate your practice.
It’s happening on September 19th (Thursday) at 5-6pm GMT+2.
See you there! 👋
