Meeting Design and Facilitation

A facilitator is a neutral party that brings both maximum structure and, at the same time, maximum flexibility to any engagement. A strong facilitator will plan appropriate group processes that create and sustain a participatory environment. This includes honouring diversity and ensuring inclusiveness, promoting and supporting group creativity while also managing individual and/or group conflict that may arise. Ultimately, the facilitator must ensure that the group achieves consensus on the desired outcomes. All of these important elements are underscored by an energetic, enthusiastic and empathetic demeanour and approach.
