List of Online facilitators? Need an experienced one for 4h meeting on 3/27 #consultants #facilitation


 

Dear all, sorry if I do not yet know how to best navigate topics etc in this group but is anyone aware of a contact list for online facilitators (and process designers)? I am an offline facilitator and process designer and now- thanks to you all- also learning the ropes of online facilitation. However, for a meeting on March 27th I would not want to jump in just yet but connect my colleagues with an online facilitator who is fluent in English and well versed with online facilitation (this would be paid of course). I can explain more what they are looking for but is on transatlantic policy issues. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany- Astrid


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

If there is a list, I would love to be on it. ?? Astrid, I would be happy to discuss this with you

I am happy to assist with this--please reach out.? Lschooler@...,?512-387-4876, linkedin.com/in/larryschooler


 

So now I'm breathing easier. I will point people needing help to this list. And I found the spreadsheet Marion started. This one is a list of Liberating Structures facilitators with online experience - so it is a subset

Hi Nancy, Would it be possible for my name to be on that list please?


 

Y'all should be able to add yourselves. Just a point of clarity - there are no implicit or explicit recommendations. So if you are looking for someone, keep that in mind. Those adding yourselves, if you think there needs to be another column for additional information, add it! Let's do this together!

Hi all,

Does another list exist besides the specific one Nancy indicated for LS practitioners? And if not, should we expand this one by adding a column to indicate specialties (like LS in this case)?

XXX Amy

I've added myself to the list and wonder if we can find ways to publicise this?? Great to find so much sharing going on among facilitators, but is such a need for our skills at the moment that it would be good to make it more widely know.


 

Great ideas, Amy
.I'm on a phone at the moment. Can someone expand the columns? Also you might indicate if you have a tech platform to host. I heard that request today...can you offer.thr whole package from design, hosting the platform and all aspects of running/facilitating.

Hi All,?

ok, so should be asleep but hey this is much more fun !

Spreadsheet
I¡¯ve expanded some of the possible selections, on the spreadsheet (google) that Nancy found (how do you keep up with what is where?)
Please keep adding, this sheet belongs to everyone who is engaged, whether reading, emailing, thinking, expand and add what you need.

Transposing f-2-f ¡ª> virtual
A helpful way to think about it is: imagine time is more fluid (think Dali and liquid clocks), and that the experience you are creating has a number of touchpoint (pulse points if you want).
Each pulse point has a rhythm, a beat to it, sometimes experiences are more intense and the pulse increases, and more may be required (think input/activity/interaction) and some of this may be in a sync space or in a async space.
Start with the end in mind, what do you (or the client) want people to walk away with?
Then backwards you walk - it¡¯s been mentioned earlier on in the threads.
What are your anchor pulse points - that set up consistency and rhythm, then build from there.?

I am very tactile, so I enjoy still building the design with scraps of paper I find, and scribbling things onto them and then moving them around on the floor or table until I have a visual picture of the experience, with the purpose always in mind.?
Only after that do I look at what tools to use, what platforms to bring in - they¡¯re the last step. The tools also need to support the process you decide to use, whether TRIZ, or 1-2-4-All or any of the other LS processes.?

Most importantly, have fun, it¡¯s a bit experimental at first, and then suddenly the flow kicks in and when that happens - have lots of scraps of paper.
Build it, step back and then simplify it.

If you¡¯re anything like me, getting excited by what is possible, repeat: less is more - it¡¯s a good mantra to have.

And on pace - you can spread pulses out over much further stretches of time - which works well for attention spans, and gives people a chance to go and test out what they workshopped and to keep making improvements, it helps with workshop fatigue and the issue where everyone is revved up after a face-2-face but 3 weeks later the workshop glow has dissipated and it¡¯s back to business as usual.

enjoy - it¡¯s awesome reading all these posts and I¡¯m going to read all the links shared tomorrow - thank you everyone for sharing.?

night night

I guess we share it through our networks for starters? Maybe a weekly share on twitter, etc. ??


 

I wonder about opportunities to act as an apprentice to learn / practice these skills? I'm not a professional facilitator by trade, but I do a lot of meeting/convening design and facilitation work, primarily F2F but have dabbled in virtual (and obviously am on this forum and have been participating in others these last few weeks to build my muscles).?

Anyway, what might an apprenticeship look like? What might the pros need to take on apprentices??

(also, i'm happy to move this discussion to a separate thread...)

Many thanks,
Rachel

@rcardone @nwhite happy to join the conversation!?


 

Hi there. I love that you are all adding your names to the list. This is a great resource. I have a question to ask of you that are experienced and skilled on line facilitators - who has in the recent past, or is currently working with a UN agency? I ask because here at the UN World Food Programme (and other UN agencies are similar) if a consultant already has a LTA (long term agreement) with a UN agency, then we can piggy back on each agencies LTA to quickly hire. Otherwise it is a lengthy (and very UN) process. And we are looking to nimbly jump into the "work with an online facilitator" space. I've added a column to the google spreadsheet in case any of those currently on the list would like to self-identify. Thanks everyone.
