Organization Development  Establishing a Team of Consultants, Trainers or Facilitators in Your Organization

 

Internal Training Team Meeting
The Need

Part of increasing the capacity of an organization is developing internal resources for consulting, training, and/or team and large group facilitation. While there are times when bringing in the external consultant is useful and even necessary, there are many times when a competent internal unit could handle the assignment. Some of the benefits of creating internal units are: long term cost savings, easy and timely access, assists in developing the organizational culture, and increases the skill level in working teams.

 

Starting a Team - for internal consulting, training or facilitation
A consultation can be arranged to help your organization establish a team or to improve the effectiveness of an existing team. There are several approaches that can be taken in creating an internal network. The consultation will help you explore these standard options and develop a way to move forward that fits your situation.
  • An initial consultation of 1 1/2 or 2 days can be used to explore issues such as: recruiting potential members of the team, the training process, options for a process of certification for  functioning in the organization, ways of financing the training and operating costs of a network, decisions on covering costs in the budget or charging fees for services, the relationship between the organization's leadership and the team.
  • A long-term consultation can be arranged if the organization would like assistance in the process of training and establishing a team.
