Facilitation

What is the dollar value to your organization of:

  • Clarity on your objectives?
  • Avoiding “bad choices”?
  • Aligned leadership and work groups?
  • Saving time?

Have you ever had lingering questions about how decisions were made after a meeting is over?

  • Were all the bases covered?
  • Why did some people not participate?
  • Did we get sidetracked again?
  • What are the reasons for the conflict between departments?
  • What about follow-up?
  • Have the action steps from our last session been implemented?

DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Steve Marks applies behavioural science principles to enhance a group’s effectiveness. This facilitation process is designed for organizations that are looking for a comprehensive, efficient, and straight-forward means to achieve clarity, alignment and direction in their products/services, markets, growth, and a range of organizational issues including culture, structure, and staff relationships.

He provides a facilitated process which guides the leadership or work group through a series of steps, which produce clarity, alignment, and direction. As the facilitator, he becomes a temporary part of your team. His functions are:

  • Initial planning to establish the objectives, parameters for the process and the desired outcomes.
  • Providing guidelines for planning the venue for the meeting: participants, dates, duration, location, schedule, recreational activities, etc.
  • Interviewing each participant to learn his/her perspective on the issues. When the meeting is convened, he is not a stranger.
  • Organizing the material gathered for the meeting.
  • Conducting the meeting which includes: organizing the agenda, keeping the group focused, keeping a record, identifying “blind spots”, ensuring equal participation, preventing premature closure, mediating conflicts and documenting action steps with responsibilities and dates.
  • Preparing a report.
  • Ensuring that a plan for follow-up is in place.
