Working with KT

KT Process Facilitation and Coaching

Process Facilitators and Coaches integrate the use of KT processes by providing leadership, coaching, and facilitation. They lead and help others solve problems, make decisions, and implement plans using the KT Problem Solving & Decision Making, Analytic Trouble Shooting, or Resolve processes. They have a deep understanding of the concepts and the practical ability of the Kepner-Tregoe ideas and software tools that can assist them in this effort. As a certified facilitator and coach they assist their colleagues as they solve difficult problems, make tough decisions, set priority, and plan ahead

Who Should Become a Process Facilitator & Coach
Those who have the responsibility of resolving organizational issues will benefit from this program.  Department managers, project managers and troubleshooters are all good candidates.  Process Facilitators and Coaches should have strong leadership qualities and good communications skills. They should have the responsibility or the ability to influence management decisions.

How to Become a Process Facilitator & Coach?
Candidates must have previously attended a Kepner-Tregoe Problem Solving and Decision Making, Analytical Trouble Shooting, or Resolve workshop.  They then attend two additional workshops – the KT Rational Process Mastery Workshop and the KT Process Facilitator & Coach Workshop.

Candidates will then undergo a certification that involves an appropriate combination of documented facilitations and coaching instances and/or an onsite certification.  The specifics of the certification will be designed by Kepner-Tregoe in conjunction with the candidate and will depend on the types of issues the candidate will typically resolve.
