People join committees for a variety of reasons. They may be passionate about the aims of the group or have been asked to attend as a representative of their employer. Irrespective of their motivation, Committee members, which ever sector they represent, are always conscious that the decisions they make will have implications on a wider scale and are keenly aware of the need to ensure that those decisions are backed by all involved.
Raising awareness of responsibilities and enhancing practical committee skills will aid effectiveness by ensuring that:
Discussions are focussed
Decision making has greater clarity
The group is less risk averse, where appropriate
Individual skills are used and developed
Sub committees are used more effectively
Individuals understand their commitment and what they bring to the group
These sessions can be tailored to meet the needs of:
All members of a team with a common goal
Management Committee members
Team members with decision-making responsibilities
