Break Through Meeting Facilitation Service

Our facilitation expertise can be put to work in client meetings that need break throughs. Here are some examples of meetings that need our facilitation expertise.:

  • Old ways are no longer effective — the group is frustrated — the same old ideas keep surfacing.

  • Audacious goals have been set — you need help with idea generation to meet the goals.

  • The group has met a number of times to resolve a tough challenge — there is no action plan or end in sight.

  • The challenge is emotional, controversial, or represents a major change.

  • The team is bogged down in a mountain of data and can’t get moving.

  • Important decisions keep getting put off because no one wants to be responsible in case things don’t work out.

  • A team off-site is planned and you want to have the group work on a current challenge during one portion of the meeting.

  • A major change has just been announced and will require new thinking and lots of action.

  • A business disaster just occurred.

Our professional facilitators hold the global de Bono Thinking Systems Facilitator credential. They have invested in extensive training, completed fieldwork that meets our high standards, and have worked with many different types of groups and challenges. Our tools stand the test of time.

Our Accredited de Bono Facilitators will work with you to:

  • Plan, organize, and lead meetings using appropriate de Bono tools.

  • Define and test the overall goal to ensure a successful outcome.

  • Decide what can be done in advance of the meeting to save time during the meeting.

  • Prepare an action plan to deal with the output.

  • Decide who should attend the meeting and for what purpose.

  • Ensure the group stays on track throughout the meeting.

  • Minimize ego plays among the group.

  • Interview appropriate attendees in advance to gather helpful information.

  • Expand the thinking of the group to ensure the challenge is successfully resolved.

  • Remain neutral.

  • Define how decisions are going to be made.

  • End with an action plan that will be supported and can be implemented.

  • Offer suggestions to make your meetings stimulating, enjoyable and useful.
