1. When working in partnership as a taskforce, agency/organization and stakeholder teams must learn to resolve conflicts and collaborate.  Secondly, and even harder, they must make this collaborative work effective, by producing results that are clear, and can be expressed to the public or other stakeholders. And they must do all of this within time and budget constraints. 

NWETC instructor Mike Fraidenburg has developed one-day, rapid-fire, no-nonsense workshop to take on the three critical aspects of a taskforce’s challenge:

• Facilitating their meetings,
• Interacting with the media, and
• Conflict management

These skills are useful for any government/stakeholder team, so come to this intensive day of training and learn:

How to facilitate and moderate meetings to:

• Create concrete and tangible deliverables
• Apply proven group process skills to:
• Generate ideas and proposals
• Evaluate these ideas and proposals
• Make definitive and defensible decisions
• Conduct orderly and productive conversations to support, not derail, a meeting

How to manage media relations to:

• Attract coverage
• Create media messages that stick
• Handle the difficult media interview

How to manage conflict that comes up in any taskforce to:

• Identify and react to the real sources of conflict
• Communicate effectively to support the search for common ground
• Negotiate durable, collaborative agreements
