A Partnering Facilitator is a person who facilitates communications between people who are going to engage in a business transaction or project. This person may be a project manager, project coordinator, business owner, or a team of people who work together on a specific project. The facilitator's role is critical in developing and fostering productive, mutually beneficial relationships between everyone involved. In short, the Partnering Facilitator serves as a go-between for those who would normally not speak with one another.

The process of creating an agreement between the parties involves a lot of work, negotiation, compromise, and thoughtful discussion. The goal of the process is to identify the needs and desires of each of the stakeholders involved and find a solution that addresses these needs and desires. If this process is not done properly, then neither party will be satisfied. Likewise, if an agreement is not created and implemented, then it will not serve its purpose and may even result in diminished relationships, lost opportunities, and diminished productivity. This is why it is essential to consider hiring an effective Partnering Facilitator who has been trained and has completed an ongoing Partnering Evaluation.

The purpose of a Partnering Facilitator Evaluation includes four steps. First, the Teamwork Pre-work will be conducted to identify all of the goals, objectives, needs, interests, and other key factors that the team members have come to understand as they work toward a common purpose. The purpose of the Teamwork Pre-work is to make sure all of the team members understand the overall objective and the resources needed to reach this goal. Next, an assessment will be conducted to obtain a complete picture of each team member's contributions and skills. The assessment will also determine whether any of the team members are at risk of being terminated, whether there are any gaps in the skills and knowledge needed, and how those gaps can be addressed by the team.

Once the objectives have been identified, a summary of all of the key stakeholders' views and comments will be documented in a report. Based on the information gathered from the Partnering Evaluation, the team will develop a list of recommendations and a draft of a suggested course of action to implement the recommended solutions. Once the suggested solutions have been approved by all stakeholders, the team will conduct a final stakeholder discussion to finalize the process and deliver the agreed upon solution. At this point, a third party must support the implementation process. This person is referred to as the Partnering Facilitator. The Partnering Facilitator is responsible for facilitating communication between the team, the key stakeholders, and the organization.

Throughout the life of the project, there will likely be issues that arise that will require the assistance of a Partnering Facilitator. During this stage of the implementation process, the partner working with the teams will ensure that the issues are addressed as they come up and will also act as a mediator between the teams to address any issues before they become major concerns. For projects that are ongoing, the Partnering Facilitator will continue to monitor the implementation process and serve as a link between the organization and the teams throughout the life of the project. The Partnering Facilitator may serve as a contact person for the organization or may be the person who first contacts the organization and the team to get an understanding of what is being proposed and to address any issues that come up during the implementation process. The Partnering Facilitator may also offer training sessions for the teams and offer advice on how to best deal with certain issues that come up during the implementation process.

Upon reaching a management level, if there is still need for the involvement of a Partnering Facilitator, it may be because there is still a difference of opinions on how to best approach a problem. In this instance, the facilitator will step forward and help the teams find common ground. The facilitator will also keep everyone updated on what is going on at all times so that there are no misunderstandings. The most important thing when it comes to implementing the concept of Partnering is for the management level to be fully involved in the whole process. This way, there will be full communication between the teams and everyone will be on the same page. It is the management's responsibility to ensure that all team members are working together and are reaching the same goal.

One important factor that is used in determining whether the concepts of Partnering and Ongoing Partnering were effectively implemented is what is being taught at all stages of the implementation process. If the teams were taught what Partnering means and what their roles were then this will be easier to determine. If the teams were not taught these things then it will be harder to determine the effectiveness of the processes because there were no guidelines to follow and no understanding of what role each member has within the overall business structure. It is important for companies to implement a few strategies that will help them with the implementation of Partnering and Ongoing Partnering. These include using surveys to get valuable feedback from all parties involved, training and education to help create understanding, creating partnerships through a central clearinghouse, as well as creating an implementation plan to ensure that the strategies are properly implemented and that they are reaching everyone involved in the business.

These are just a few things that can be found in a mini guide on how the Partnering Facilitator was successful at implementing a successful Partnering and Ongoing Partnering program throughout the life of the construction projects. The best way to make sure that these concepts are fully implemented is to first get a full team assessment done. This way, you can find out what the problems were and how much work still needs to be done to complete the project. If you implement the Partnering Facilitator and keep everything running smoothly, you can be sure that your construction projects will be more profitable and successful.
