FacilitationDevelopmental Facilitation (Action Science)Many meetings are limited by the speed with which they can deal with difficult situations. People are hampered by the ways they show respect, show courtesy, and stand up for themselves. There are techniques—simple to explain, more challenging to follow—which help people raise tough issues quickly and resolve them through information, not position and power. You can get good decisions, based on pertinent information, more quickly. Amazingly, these techniques can also foster great team spirit.Online FacilitationWhen you have a team that's spread across multiple sites or shifts, getting together in person is difficult and costly. There are approaches to address these needs, capable of making distributed teams as effective as teams that sit together.Management Changeover WorkshopsWhen a department gets a new manager (or when a manager gets a new department), often there's a productivity gap as the people learn how to work effectively with the manager and the manager learns what needs to be known to manage and lead effectively. Facilitated Systems can help you shrink that gap with a Management Changeover Workshop.Basic FacilitationSometimes you just have to get a task done with a group of people, quickly. There is no time to learn how to be more effective next month; you just want help getting results this afternoon.Facilitated Systems can help through basic facilitation. With a sharp focus on the goal of the work, careful planning involving key people, and a focus on providing the group with just the structure, information, and process they need, significant work can be done in just a couple of hours. "Bill was excellent at getting real work done with a diverse group of managers in a 2 hour session. Everyone was heard, and no one was allowed to dominate. We stayed on track and produced useful results on time. I was impressed." | |
