Facilitation

Facilitation for groups or teams is provided by an experienced Learning & Development resource skilled in designing and formulating a process that helps a group achieve its objectives.  As part of group facilitation services, we will: 

  • Provide an appropriate structure for a meeting, training or session or other work event so that the objective of the group is accomplished in the session,
  • Promote shared responsibility for the outcome of the meeting, and,
  • Draw from the participants answers to their questions, decisions, and solutions to identified problems. 

Facilitation is often used as part of a team building or team development initiative, strategic planning, and/or supporting change and transition initiatives.
