Uncover the secrets of facilitation, and see how to avoid the hazards of being an “inside-facilitator.” Learn about the three levels of a complete plan, one that combines wisdom and expertise throughout the organization. Observe the relationship between the four elements of a long-range plan and operational plans that foster focus and completion.
