High Impact Meetings & Business Facilitation
Designed to get people working through issues cooperatively and effectively
Meetings can move much faster and with less stress through the guidance of an external facilitator. With a professional Tirian facilitator constructive dialogue can replace debating, and individuals can be carefully guided through each stage of the process. Good facilitation ensures that outcomes of meetings are effectively achieved and the individuals involved maintain both ownership of the process and the outcomes. (Note: Tirian has some great models and methods to achieve goals in a facilitated session, but pure business facilitation with the focus on outcomes does not include content from our other Tirian seminars & workshops).
General facilitation outcomes:
- Providing motivation and flow to a program
- Helping people get to know each other better, providing opportunities for positive interaction, and assisting with working across boundaries
- Reinforcing the team / group spirit and a sense of identity
Our facilitation can assist with:
- Tying a program together to ensure there is an effective flow towards the outcomes:
- Introducing the program concepts
- Linking the sessions through highlighting key themes and outcomes before and after presentations
- Facilitating discussions related to presentations
- Advising on how to prepare the different learning settings to provide positive environments that could change as different needs evolve and to maximize interaction
- Preparing presenters for presentations to ensure they are clear and confident in what they need to present
- Helping design / adapt the presentation methods to ensure maximum impact and to ensure they are engaging
- Facilitating the general discussion processes to allow for full participation and to ensure the discussions remain focused and productive
- Keeping the group motivated and involved through spontaneously providing relevant exercises, games and input where appropriate
- Assisting with evaluating the success of the program
Facilitation can achieve the following:
- Provide a productive context for positive change
- Introduce important factors to consider in the context of the relevant issues

"These days boards are much more aware of attracting the right mix of skills and interests, but attention has to be given to the group dynamic when these people come together with all of their needs and ambitions. The problem begins in the "coming together" - most people struggle in the transition needed to work comfortably in different groups. Every group will have its own culture because personalities and context will differ."
