Small businesses at times seems to be ignoring many a thing, by just treating them as one more jargon in this new age of super complicated words and synonyms.
Process Re-Engineering can be a game changer to businesses, as it can perform miracles on a failing or stagnant company and open new doors for a company on steady path of growth. However, the process is tricky and needs some pain-killers to supress the pain of change and pain of tearing down what we are used to and feel comfortable with.
If ignoring this was a mistake, the next big mistake could be to settle for a cheap and basic process re-engineering tool in absence of an expert guidance. It could be that you tried saving a cent and lost a dollar.

Continuing form previous post, the other seating arrangements are,
~ 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞 – A space effective pattern for large numbers, maintaining a good angle to screen and offering a little space to Facilitator to walk through.
However, several participants get masked by others affecting the interaction between them despite being on the same table. If ‘group-discussion’ is going to be one of the methods, the participants have to change it as & when needed.
~ ‘𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨’ / ‘𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬’ – Ideal for team building sessions & small group workshops – this pattern encourages maximum participation & informal interactions. This arrangement offers open-mindedness without mention and also a good access to the Trainer to each group.
This fails if use of AV aids is going to be a largely used method. Also, the informal set-up needs a different level control to be established by the Trainer to avoid distractions due to cross-talking. Also there could be a possibility that trainees may look at the learning lightly or casually.
~ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 – This pattern is good for lecture-type presentations where one-way communication is expected. The participants need to interact with the facilitator only and cross-talks need to be avoided completely. This pattern offers better visibility to AVs & also very space-effective.
Back-rows in this pattern may feel alienated and the Trainer needs to pay special attention towards the participation of all.
There are certain aspects which help in choosing the right pattern for the training:
~ Research shows that distance reduces participation. More the distance from Trainer or AV aids, lesser would be the attention & connection.
~ Any kind of ‘row’ reduces interaction. Linear seating arrangement hampers the participation.
~ Frequent changes in seating patterns from session to session can be psychologically upsetting for participants. At repetitive sessions, participants will invariably sit in the same place.
~ Angry or cynical participants will attempt to move away from group seating pattern.
A facilitator being aware of these pointers will ensure to choose the right pattern which would definitely contribute to the learning process. Training Vertical of Synergeze Consultants Private Limited looks at training infrastructure as a part of learning process & hence pays close attention to these factors. Do connect with us to off-load your concerns & be rest assured of the desired results.
