Focus on participating, not juggling

As a leader, you need to focus your energies on being part of the strategic discussion, not on managing the agenda, watching the clock, and keeping everyone in check.

That's where an expert facilitator comes in!

They can take care of ensuring that the session itself delivers, whilst you lead your team to build a truly transformative plan.

What does a facilitator do?

  • Works with you to design a tailored workshop agenda that meets your business objectives whilst delivering attendee impact and value.
  • Provides frameworks and exercises to use in the workshop to enable strategy development by stimulating constructive discussion, new thinking and ideas.
  • Coordinates and supports your team to generate the necessary pre-work and prep materials to ensure information and inputs are made available prior to the workshop.
  • Handles any logistics and administration to ensure the smooth running of the session.
  • Delivers and facilitates the session making sure that it has open discussions whilst remaining focused, that there is contribution across all attendees, and that it meets your defined objectives.
  • Creates a safe environment for the group so that all voices are heard, any biases and agendas coming in are removed, and conflicts are managed constructively.
  • Provides comprehensive documentation of the workshop's discussions, outlining any key insights and agreed upon next steps so that nothing's lost in translation.

How it works - services offered

Agenda Creation

I'll work with you to design the session agenda so that it meets your specific needs, objectives and team dynamics. As part of this I'll suggest specific strategy frameworks and team exercises that in my experience have helped to clarify thinking, generate innovation and build team collaboration.

Prep Coordination

I'll coordinate with you and your team to complete the necessary analyses and pre-work before the workshop. I'll be available to offer any guidance and assistance on this as required, and then I'll consolidate and disseminate the materials so that all attendees have the time to review in advance.

Session Facilitation

On the day, I'll run the session by directing the conversation aligned to agreed agenda. As I do this, I'll ensure that all team members are contributing and that discussions aren't diverted by any prior biases, conflicts or personalities. I'll also cover all timing and logistical considerations so the session will run like clockwork!

Outputs & Actions

Throughout the workshop I'll be capturing all the insights generated and actions agreed. Immediately post I'll then write-these up into a concise document that, with your sign-off, I'll share with the attendees.

Workshops can be run from 1/2 day to 2 days sessions, and can be either in-person or virtual, via video conference.

Types of workshops covered: Corporate Away Days, Strategy Offsites, Business Planning, Business Creativity, Project Workshops, Innovation Workshops.

What's the actual cost of holding a poor strategy session?

LOST REVENUE

The output will be weak strategy and a poorly built plan that will lead to under-delivery on revenue and missed opportunities to drive growth.  

LOST TIME

As well as the wasted time taken for the workshop itself (including all the prep), you will also lose time in getting to your goals by having to re-set further down the line.

LOST RESOURCES

The resulting lack of direction and collaboration between attendees, and their teams, will mean sub-optimal use of resources and wasted investment. 

LOST MORALE

Individuals and teams won't buy in to the strategy and therefore won't feel accountable for delivering it. Lack of purpose and clarity will foster poor morale across the business.
