Get an external problem-solving facilitator and bring fresh insights and tools to tackle your complex or seemingly impossible problems. Here is why:

  1. Objective Perspective: External facilitators bring a neutral, unbiased view that helps identify blind spots that internal teams might overlook and challenge assumptions that internal teams may take for granted. Coming from outside the company, they can introduce innovative ideas and challenge the status quo without being influenced by company culture. They are not part of any internal power games.

  2. Avoid Office Politics: External facilitators are immune to internal politics, which can often cloud decision-making and hinder progress.

  3. Specialized Expertise: Facilitators often have extensive experience and training in structured problem-solving techniques, making them highly effective at untangling complex issues (e.g. Six Sigma or root cause analysis)

  4. Focused Attention: Unlike internal project managers who may juggle multiple responsibilities, an external facilitator dedicates their full attention to solving the problem.

  5. Conflict Management: Facilitators are skilled at managing conflicts and navigating team dynamics, which can be especially useful if there are differing opinions on the solution.

  6. Enhanced Creativity: They often use creative problem-solving methods, like design thinking or brainstorming workshops, that inspire teams to think outside the box.

  7. Cost-Effective Solutions: External facilitators can be more cost-effective by helping companies avoid the expense of failed attempts at solving the problem internally, especially when time is an important factor.

  8. Expertise in High-Stakes Situations: Many facilitators specialize in resolving urgent, “impossible” and high-impact problems, trained in prioritizing business value vs short and long term expenses.

  9. Improved Transparency: External facilitators are often a better interface between top management and the “shop floor” because they are not afraid to convey unpopular messages.

Overall, an external facilitator offers a mix of expertise, objectivity, and fresh energy that can be vital when tackling difficult or urgent challenges that internal teams may not be best equipped to resolve on their own.
