| DESCRIPTION |
The Help, hinder method is a fairly simplistic procedure
and comparable to Bullet-proofing,
Potential problem analysis, Negative
brainstorming, and Stakeholder
analysis.
- A participant from each group identifies a few people (‘Who/’)
and things (‘What?’) that they feel might help and hinder
the client implementing his plan and note these on a table like
the one below. It is essential that you pay attention to the hindrances.

-
The client can then emphasise what they feel
are the most crucial factors ‘helping’ or ‘hindering’
their plan. It is possible that items may occur on both sides, e.g.
a senior may be helpful if on your side, but a serious hindrance
if otherwise.
-
The group now concentrate on how to enable the
client to take on the support of the key ‘helping’ people
and things. More importantly come up with ways to get round those
that will ‘hinder’ and are liable to prevent the scheme
achieving completion.
-
The group are now in a position to outline a
specific plan (keeping number 4 in mind), indicating dates and times
allocated to each sequence in the plan.
-
Finally the group reveal the plan to the client,
to check if it is satisfactory and if the client will commit to
it. If not, the group is required to identify the aspects they have
omitted, and need to the take the problem-solving process through
a further series of cycles.
