Facilitation
The purpose is to achieve the goal of the communication effectively while keeping the participants satisfied. We will guide you through the entire process - in a correct, professional, and pleasant way.
When to use facilitation?
It is suitable for all types of work meetings, consultations, agile or project management, and remote management. It is also suitable for specific meetings (strategic, creative, decision-making, training, mentoring, engagement or employee, community, and public participation).
What a facilitator does
A facilitator is a person who prepares the flow of a meeting and then guides it from start to finish. (If there are a large number of participants, we use a team of co-facilitators.)
A facilitator:
-
Structures and guides the process concerning the situation and time
-
Involves all participants equally in the discussion
-
Promotes trust, openness, and the sharing of opinions
-
Brings a digressive discussion back to the topic and objective
-
Helps clarify unintelligible content
-
Prevents conflicts or resolves them promptly

- Achieving your goal
- Staying on schedule while keeping all participants happy

To present a final solution that is not to be changed

In a crisis situation that needs to be resolved immediately
How it's done
For each client, we prepare facilitation according to their requirements and needs. But we can name a few common elements:
-
The most important part for us is the preparation of the meeting; the definition of the purpose, roles, and content.
-
The rules of the game need to be set.
-
We design the process of the meeting.
