Creating an Agenda

Identifying relevant participants who bring subject-mater expertise, diver perspectives, and innovating thinking is an important process in preparing for a facilitated session. Participants can use the agenda as a guide throughout the session. For facilitators, the agenda is critical – it is the framework that ensures important topics are covered and maintains a clear, focused scheduled.  

It is important to consider the best approach for creating the agenda and structure for the session. Where possible, co-create the agenda with the participants to promote collaboration and engagement in the effort. Once the agenda is created, circulate it to the attendees in advance of the session, along with any necessary contextual information or prework.
