1 Set clear objectives

Before you start facilitating a group, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how you will measure it. Objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For example, an objective could be: "By the end of this session, the group will have generated at least 10 ideas for improving customer satisfaction and ranked them by feasibility and impact." Having clear objectives will help you design and facilitate the session accordingly, and also provide a baseline for evaluation.

This type of facilitation requires consulting skills. In my experience, most leaders have not set SMART objectives for a working group before bringing in a facilitator. It is up to the facilitator to ask insightful questions to help the leader specify what success looks like for them and what deliverables they want from a working session. By asking the right questions, you can support leaders in thinking through what it is they really want and ensure the group's time is most effective.

Para conseguir un equipo de éxito es sumamente importante como jefe de equipo o dinamizandor, establecer los objetivos de cada individuo que conforme el equipo acorde a sus habilidades y competencias. Personalmente establezco tres tipos de objetivos: el que se necesita a nivel de grupo, el deseado por individuo y uno de mínimos que sea realista y acorde al momento y estado de rendimiento de cada uno. Lo ideal es que el objetivo del equipo consiga el equilibrio de cumplimiento de objetivos y realización personal de sus componentes.

2 Monitor group dynamics

During the facilitation, you need to pay attention to how the group is interacting and performing. Are they engaged, respectful, and productive? Or are they bored, distracted, or conflicted? You can use various techniques to monitor group dynamics, such as observing body language, asking for feedback, using polls or surveys, or using tools like sticky notes or flip charts to capture and display ideas. Monitoring group dynamics will help you adjust your facilitation style, intervene when needed, and address any issues or challenges that arise.

3 Collect feedback

After the facilitation, you need to collect feedback from the group and yourself. Feedback can help you assess the satisfaction, learning, and outcomes of the facilitation. You can use different methods to collect feedback, such as questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, or self-reflection. Feedback should be timely, specific, and constructive. For example, you can ask the group to rate the facilitation on a scale of 1 to 5, and explain why they gave that rating. You can also ask yourself what went well, what could be improved, and what you learned from the experience.

Feedback is crucial when it comes to measuring performance. To maximize its effectiveness, use different formats. Begin with anonymous written feedback; this way, you will receive the most accurate answers. Ask specific and clear questions, such as: 1. What were the goals, and were they achieved? 2. Rate how effectively the facilitator managed time. 3. Did the facilitator understand the needs of the group? 4. What were the main issues you noticed?

4 Analyze results

Once you have collected feedback, you need to analyze the results and compare them with your objectives. Did you achieve what you set out to do? Did the group benefit from the facilitation? Did you meet or exceed their expectations? How did you perform as a facilitator? You can use quantitative and qualitative data to analyze the results, such as numbers, ratings, comments, or themes. Analyzing results will help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your facilitation, and also provide evidence of its impact and value.

5 Share findings

The final step in evaluating the success of a group facilitation is to share your findings with the relevant stakeholders, such as the group members, your manager, or your client. Sharing findings will help you communicate the outcomes and benefits of the facilitation, celebrate the achievements and contributions of the group, and solicit feedback and suggestions for future improvement. You can use different formats to share your findings, such as reports, presentations, or infographics. Sharing findings will also help you build trust and credibility as a facilitator, and demonstrate your leadership skills.

The success of Group Facilitation lies in its essence. It is a process where the facilitator (as chosen by the group) is substantively neutral and facilitates/intervenes in the group process to help them meet their purpose. 1. Are leaders taking the right role as facilitators? 2. Current state (that demands a neutral perspective) and the desired state. 3. Aligned objectives within the group and with the larger goal. 4. The facilitator's ability to enable the group to participate. 5. The group's openness to different viewpoints and how the dynamics of differences are being leveraged. 6. Interim feedback and adaptation. 7. Tracking and aligning results back to the objective. 8. Celebrating the impact of new findings, shifts and solutions.

Le succès d’une animation de groupe ne se mesure pas uniquement aux résultats. Il se mesure également à l’esprit d’entraide instauré, à la cohésion du groupe et à la solidarité entre ses membres.

Para evaluar la facilitacion grupal, para mí hay dos cosas fundamentales para evaluar. 1) el feedback de los mismos participantes al final de la actividad. 2) El involucramiento de los participantes en la actividad, si la facilitacion grupal falla, los participantes pierden rápidamente el entusiasmo.
