Effective Process Facilitation is a structured process that equips an organization to more efficiently and effectively address challenges and capture opportunities. A Neutral Facilitator is not the expert in the subject at hand but manages the method of the process with the focus on effective decision-making. A well designed and managed Process assists an organization to make more effective use of the wealth of their existing knowledge, expertise, experiences, & resources.
Strategic Planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction and making decisions on how to pursue this strategy. It involves identifying desired outcomes as well as the mechanisms involved in guiding the implementation of the strategy. Determining goals, identifying actions to achieve those goals, mobilizing resources to execute the actions and setting benchmarks to evaluate the progress & success of the plan is the foundation of a well designed, well managed and successful Strategic Plan.
Meeting Facilitation allows an organization to design and manage a productive & successful meeting, identifying desired outcomes & developing a process to achieve those outcomes. The facilitator helps draw out the very best ideas from all the participants in a style that encourages collaboration and diffuses conflict. Neutral facilitation serves the needs of any group who are meeting with a specific purpose.
