What We Do

Facilitation

The way through isn’t always clear– further, we can’t always expect that everyone is pulling in the same direction. We help our clients chart a path from where they are today, to where they want to be. Facilitation enables groups and organizations to work more effectively; to collaborate and achieve synergy. For us, this means creating custom processes through which teams of any size can successfully manage change. We ensure meetings run well and help participants to achieve a high degree of consensus. We can help you make decisions, solve problems, develop and update your organization’s mission and vision statements, agree on core values, set goals, and make strategic decisions. We do so in a way that encourages individual alignment and engagement so necessary to successful change. Our facilitation gives meaning, direction, and purpose to your organization or team’s work.

Testimonial: City of Port Coquitlam

We are more focused and committed as a team.

Stacey’s approachable and friendly manner, in combination with her skillful ability to engage a diverse group, and connect effectively with the ‘harder to reach’ among us, resulted in productive and highly interactive sessions. The pace of each day was well suited for our group; she was very responsive to changes in energy levels, introduced a variety of activities and ensured we achieved our outcome goals. We enjoyed her humour and learned from the many practical examples she shared; feedback from our group was consistent: ‘bring her back again!’.

How We Can Help:

  • Meeting Design and Facilitation – We work with clients to help them plan an agenda, stay with the agenda, manage time, discuss issues effectively, and come up with a clear action plan for moving forward.
  • Strategic Planning – Strategic Planning involves analyzing the environment, the internal organization, establishing a mission, vision, core values, goals and objectives, and strategies– to assist you to set priorities and focus your energy and resources.
  • Team Development – Teams are integral in today’s world of work. We can help you develop a team charter, clarify team roles and responsibilities, enhance the effectiveness of work groups, and improve the dynamics of people working together.
  • Goal Setting – We can assist you with both personal and professional goal-setting, to separate what’s important from what’s irrelevant, or a distraction. We help you to identify where you want to go, and the steps needed to get there.
  • Group Problem Solving – Every group at one time or another has the task of problem solving. We assist our clients with getting an agreed-upon procedure for defining the problem, identifying root causes, generating and evaluating alternatives, and agreeing on an action plan.
  • Assistance with Organizational or Team Decision-Making –The way a team “decides to decide” is one of the most important decisions it makes. Strategies for decision-making help you to get participation and achieve consensus.
  • Appreciative Inquiry – Appreciative inquiry is a process that helps our clients explore the best of “what is”, in order to imagine “what could be”, and collectively design a desired future state.
  • Teambuilding – We work collaboratively with our clients to design activities to enhance relationships, define roles within teams, and get teams working together, better.
