Facilitation

"v.t. to make easy or less difficult"

.......for the times when half-a-dozen people (or 400+!) need to address a subject or set of circumstances requiring rapid agreement, alignment and cohesion
Discussion, ‘reading-in’ and strategic/operational understanding of the organisation and the issues it faces
In consultation with the client, we agree rigorous, tight definitions of the issues to be tackled
Design of the agenda/programme for the meeting and all supporting material
Facilitation of the event itself
After the event we document the outcome; and meet the team leader for evaluation and follow-through
Success = a group of people who have gone farther, faster and more effectively than without the facilitation process
