How to facilitate groups to engage everyone, stimulate ideas, innovation and discussion, drive action and deliver FAST results!

It’s a simple fact, that many offsites or workshops tend to have an abundance of verbal discussion but fail to achieve the results or objectives set for the session.

This typically occurs because of a lack of structure, effective moderation and because some of the group will dominate the discussion whilst others will be reluctant to share their ideas and thoughts openly.

Our Power Facilitation process offers some key advantages in this area ...

1. Our use of 'visual mapping' ensures active and effective contribution from all participants (introverts and extroverts alike)
2. The use of repositionable colour cards and symbolic stationery offers an effective mechanism to capture, review, organise and prioritise ideas in a holistic, participative and interative manner
3. The goal and process orientated focus of the Moderator keeps the group on task and on time ensuring outcomes are achieved

Real success and innovation comes from harnessing power and planning with people and not over them. Truly effective facilitators know how to efficiently manage the environment, content, process and people in a meeting to stimulate the meaningful discussion and sharing of ideas needed to ensure a successful outcome.

Our skilled facilitators use the latest technology, tools and processes in group facilitation techniques to harness the maximum buy-in, contribution, innovation and synergy from every group in the shortest possible time.

Because all group members actively participate simultaneously, there is greater speed, momentum and responsibility for achieving the outcome.
This ensures your time and money is well spent and your people walk away with the specified outcome, clarity and buy-in necessary to implement the agreed action plan.

Key Benefits, we will ...

1. Free up your leaders and key executives to focus on creative thinking, problem solving and innovation rather than co-ordination, logistics and facilitation.
2. Rapidly create a fun, stimulating and interactive environment that encourages innovation, imagination, sharing and collaborative discussion
3. Engage and empower your people to easily and effectively contribute to the discussion and visual communication process
4. Utilise innovative techniques that uncover the truth about what everyone is really thinking and feeling, regardless of who is in the room
5. Capture the best collective thinking, ideas and buy-in of the group in a highly visual, flexible, innovative and impartial format

Our Tools and Methods

Our stationery includes a selection of colourful cards in different shapes and sizes with specifically assigned purposes. Cards are repositionable for flexible review and re-ordering or prioritising of key points, issues, ideas and actions.
