A facilitator may be most comfortable leading PHAs on known processes. They've built expertise in one industry or process type, and they stay there. It's safer. But that thinking can limit what well-developed facilitation skills can do for you.
The best facilitators aren't defined by the industries they've worked in. They're defined by the technical and interpersonal skills they bring to every room: the ability to understand complex systems, ask probing questions, build consensus, read the room, and maintain focus through long studies.
Those skills are transferable. And they work in industries you've never seen before.
The webinar examines:
• The technical skills facilitators need: understanding complex systems, terminology, chemistry, physics, and practical operational knowledge
• The interpersonal skills that often matter more: probing questions, consensus-building, reading nonverbal cues, patience, stamina, and maintaining a sense of humor
• How to apply your existing experience to lead studies in unfamiliar industries and processes
• Real-world examples from a career spanning refineries, chemical plants, oil and gas, underwater welding, marine well containment, kelp harvesting, munitions, and more
This webinar is designed for PHA and HAZOP facilitators seeking to expand into new industries or take on cross-sector assignments.
