My friend Craig bought an X-Box 360 last month. For those not familiar with what an X-Box is, it’s a video game console. Most of us old enough to remember, would compare it to a suped-up Atari. Well, if Atari were a Pinto, the X-Box 360 would be the Porsche. But this article isn’t about mind-numbing video games, in fact, if you’re a business owner looking for a
To create a seamless and smooth panel discussion here are some tips every facilitator must know:
Meet the panelists in advance: The meeting can be a phone call. Get a sense of their styles and message points. Decide how long each person will speak and in what order. Have them send an introductory paragraph.
Consider logistics: Contact the meeting planner and visit the room. Discuss room set-up, lighting, refreshments, microphones and AV equipment. Decide whether the panelists will sit or stand during their presentations.
Arrive one hour early: Check the room, test the microphones. Check seating visibility. Be ready to greet the panelists with a smile. You’re the host. Make them feel welcome.
Prepare a short bio:. Give your bio to the person who will introduce you as the facilitator. Keep it brief-no more than a paragraph.
Make your opening remarks: A statement about the topic and the benefits for the audience will prepare the audience to listen. “We expect to have a lively discussion tonight about the state of the economy. Our three speakers have differing view about where to put your money…. Our first speaker….”

Research would indicate that consumers don’t know what they’re thinking. According to an article written by Jack Shimell (2002) for Quirk’s Marketing Research Review, Consumers make their decisions and react to advertising based more on unconscious emotional processes than on conscious rational processes.There appears to be an interplay between the conscious and the

ISO 9000 grew out of BS 5750, a standard published by the British Standards Institution (BSI) in 1979. Initially, it was used only in manufacturing industries. ISO 9000 is now employed across a variety of other types of businesses. It is a set of international standards of quality management systems. ISO 9000 has been accepted by more than 100 countries as their national qua
Set the ground rules: Let the audience know what to expect. “There will be a 30 minute question and answer period after the presentations. Please hold your questions until the end.”
Introduce the speakers: It works best to introduce the first panelist. After the presentation, introduce the next panelist. If you read all the introductions at once, people will forget the information. Practice saying their names and write them out phonetically if the names are difficult.
Act as time keeper: Sit in front of the panelists and give them a 5 minute time signal. You can write the number 5 on an index card or you can hold up 5 fingers. If the panelist is running over, give the speaker a wrap up signal. Or interject, “You have 30 seconds to summarize.”
Facilitate questions: It’s your job to keep order. Thank the panelists, applaud with the audience and open up the floor for questions. Explain the process. “Please stand, say your first name, and be brief.” If somebody is rambling on, jump in and paraphrase or ask them “What is your question?”
If nobody asks a question, the facilitator can ask the first question. So have one ready. Or choose somebody in advance to ask the first question. At the five minute mark, let the group know that you’ll have time for a couple of more questions. Then announce, “Last question.”
Summarize and acknowledge: “That was an interesting discussion. You’ve giv
