What's in the Facilitation at Scale email series?

Facilitation at Scale is a practical, evidence-based email series for L&D managers, org dev professionals and in-house facilitators.

Perhaps you’re working hard to raise facilitation standards, and struggling to show leadership the impact of your work and win buy-in for the next step. Or you’re already in the process and wanting to genuinely move beyond ad-hoc sessions and build a facilitation capability that delivers measurable results across the whole organization. 

Each week tackles one stage of the journey, with practical advice and an action you can take immediately.

Across the five emails, you’ll explore:

  • The four challenges of growing facilitation — Why knowledge stays siloed, sessions drift from their purpose, learnings go uncaptured, and facilitation stays invisible, plus advice for addressing these challenges.
  • Standardizing processes for consistent quality — How to build a community of practice, fix a messy intake process, and create repeatable workflows so any facilitator can deliver high-quality sessions.
  • Building facilitation competency across the org — Practical ways to develop your leaders, set up shadowing and co-facilitation, and use formal training to spread skills well beyond the L&D team.
  • Proving impact and demonstrating ROI — How to design for impact, gather the right data, and use frameworks that help your results land with senior stakeholders.
  • A true culture of facilitation in action — What full facilitation maturity actually looks like, and how the most advanced teams sustain it across thousands of people.

Built on insights from SessionLab’s State of Facilitation report, case studies from the Facilitation Impact Awards, and over a decade of working with top organizations to scale facilitation and deliver high-quality sessions.

This course is especially great for:

  • L&D managers and facilitators in mid-to-large organizations
  • Org dev and people development professionals
  • Innovation leads and Centers of Excellence
  • HR professionals leading change and transformation programs
  • Anyone building a facilitation practice from the inside
