How to set up a working group? How does it work? What are the advantages? The point now.

The setting up of a working group


For group work to be productive, it is necessary to carefully select the participants. The facilitator's first role is therefore to build an effective and relevant working group.

Depending on the objective, the speakers must be selected for their function or technical competence.

It is important to pay attention to the hierarchical links that may exist between the various stakeholders. These links should not prevent some speakers from expressing themselves freely.

To be effective, the working group must have a minimum and maximum number of participants. Generally, it consists of 5 to 10 people. Indeed, under 5 people, the contribution of different points of view appears too limited. And beyond 10 people, it is often difficult to communicate easily.

Working group animation


A facilitator should be in charge of the preparation and the animation of the different meetings.

It is advisable to put in writing the essential points governing the functioning of the working group. This writing may include the names of the speakers, objectives, expected results, requirements, working tools, periodicity of meetings, etc.

It is important to prepare the meeting upstream by collecting the information and elements that will enable the various stakeholders to work efficiently. Thus, the agenda must be handed in before the meeting. The sending of different reading materials can also make it possible to prepare the meeting effectively.

At the beginning of each meeting, it is necessary to recall the expected objectives and the timeframes in which they are to be accomplished. It is better to ensure before the meeting that the objectives of the working group are known and understood by all stakeholders.

Working group meetings should be a place of sharing and communication.

To be effective, the working group must have at its disposal the necessary tools to achieve its objectives (video projector, paperboard, etc.).

It is advisable to choose a secretary to keep the written record of the remarks made at the meeting.

Advantages of the working group: unity is strength!


The setting up of a working group allows for the implementation of a common will to achieve the objectives.

The working group has many advantages:

* Sharing of intelligence and skills;

* Sharing working methods and resources;

* Sharing of opinions and personal experiences.

Protection of Personal Data in the Information System

Protection of personal data is sometimes seen as a constraint on an organization, but also as a reserved area for a well-identified member of the legal services or the information systems directorate to ensure that the correct forms of declaration are sent and that the mandatory information appears where it is expected. Nevertheless, administrative rules and constraints, which may be difficult for those responsible for designing or operating systems, are only a particularly visible part of a set of regulations established and maintained to avoid that individuals (employees, customers, partners, users, prospects...) are reached in their private life. A "breach of privacy" is a real legal and operational risk for an organization, whether the organization is a company, an association, an administration...
