Facilitation

Use our facilitators to get the best from your planning groups and meetings. Bradley Lambert Inc's experienced facilitators have facilitated over 10,000 management planning sessions.

Objectives:

A facilitated session can be more productive, less time consuming and result in increased commitment by the group to the output of the session. 

When groups have an effective facilitator, they avoid many of the pitfalls we have all experienced in meetings and working sessions.  Off tangent discussions, wasted effort, conflicts that prevent progress, lack of a clear agenda or goal and dominance by a few individuals can all be prevented or minimized.

Activities:

  • Meet with the sponsor of the meeting, working session or team
  • Determine the goals for the meeting, working session or team
  • Develop an agenda and processes to achieve goals
  • If appropriate, determine pre-work for group members
  • Facilitate the meeting, working session or team
    • Focus on the agenda
    • Move the group through the agenda
    • Intervene if there are conflicts
    • Provide for participation by all attendees
    • Clarify decisions and outputs
    • Identify and assign action items
    • Document results and next steps
  • Summarize results of meeting, working session or team
