Businesses are looking for solutions to complex issues. This is where L&D can lead the way with collaborative problem-solving. Successful company facilitation is the result of training consultants teaching teams the proper use of analysis, advocacy, discussion and deliberation in cross-functional areas. Train- ing leaders that can hone into the shared understanding of an organization and build upon that wisdom to engage with core issues will demonstrate their effectiveness as a business consultant. In this workshop we’ll examine:

• Best practices for simplifying goals and performing background analyses on complex business concerns

• Processes that can be utilized to create strategic possibilities utilizing resource abundance that comes with collaboration

• Promoting organizational progress through holistic business insights

• Departing from traditional criticisms and replacing it with collaborative problem-solving methodology
