11.2. Preparation
Prior to the workshop each participant completed a PNA.
We found the workshops to be most effective if participants sat at round tables of 8 to 10 people. We placed a flip chart and markers by each table and two at the front of the room. There were one or two facilitators present from the organization development team.
We planned the table groups in advance (each half of the workshop had different table groups) so that those who didn't know one another were seated together. For organizations that conduct an ONA before such a workshop, it would make sense to use the results to plan the seating arrangements.
At its opening, the executive hosting the workshop welcomed participants and reviewed the objectives for the day.
