MEETING FACILITATION
You want your meetings to be as effective and efficient as possible. Well, so do we. Time and again clients have partnered with us to ensure their most critical meetings are also their most effective.

Running a meeting and participating in a meeting are two very different roles. Combining the two can be difficult and confusing, not to mention unproductive.

From strategy sessions to longer off-site meetings, we are well versed in meeting facilitation. We know how to keep things moving, ask the right questions, engage all participants, and
steer the discussion - all of which results in greater meeting productivity and measurable results.

Best of all, our processes and experience will make your meeting not only highly productive but enjoyable as well.

Before the meeting, we:

• Work with the team leader to clarify the meeting
  objectives and create a preliminary agenda.

• Interview each of the meeting participants to deepen our understanding of your business and each participant. Completing these steps before the meeting is an essential ingredient to the success of the meeting enabling you to achieve more in less time.

During the meeting, we:

• Help the group meet its objectives

• Challenge assumptions

• Manage over-contributors and bring out non-participants

• Direct who speaks when

• Clarify who, how much, and by when

• Provide an outsider's viewpoint and observations

• Provide informed suggestions

• "Enforce" the ground rules when necessary

• Record the essential points, actions and due dates established

After the meeting, we:

• Compile our meeting notes and distribute them to each participant.
