Group Facilitation
Coming Together To Create Extraordinary Results
Focus groups
Enabling teams and groups of any size to exchange ideas and experiences to create a common language of understanding and creation!
Focus Groups are an economical way of bringing individuals within a team or organization together to discuss new initiatives and concepts. They can also be used as a means finding a collective way of hurdling challenges that have hampered team performance.
Benefits of focus groups
√ Group exploration produces insights less accessible through other means
√ The dynamic exchange of ideas, experiences, active listening and questioning brings new perspectives to the issue at hand
√ Create a common language with which to explore and understand the issues. This common language also shines the difference but also the similarities of the varying perspectives of the members of the group
√ These groups also create a safe haven where team members are validated for speaking their truth. Therefore they feel empowered and engaged in the process and their contribution to resolving the issue at hand.
Action Learning
A dynamic process where individuals have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and actions in order to improve performance!
“People have to be aware of their lack of relevant knowledge and be prepared to explore the area of their ignorance with suitable questions and help from other people in similar positions.” Reginald Revans, originator of Action Learning
Benefits of action learning
√ Enables each person within the group to reflect on the action(s) they have taken and the subsequent learning points.
√ Guides future attitudes and actions geared to improving performance
√ Individuals gain insight and stimulation from other members of the action learning group
√ Cross-fertilization of ideas and perspectives
√ Focuses on honing the capacity and capability of individuals, within the team and organization, to ‘unlearn’ previously held views, feelings and behaviours that hinder optimal performance
Learning to unlearn is vital to living team and organizational life abundantly.
It allows an individual to actively reflect on his/her mindset and the culture of team or organization.
Individuals learn how to question, probe and separate themselves from views that no longer support them, the team or the organization.
Open Space facilitation: enables groups of any size to address complex, important issues and achieve meaningful results quickly!
Open Space facilitation is ideal for situations involving complexity, diversity of thought or people, conflict and short decision-making time scales.
Open Space Technology is a facilitation process which enables all kinds of people, in any kind of organization, to create inspired meetings, events and results. The process has been used more than 100,000 times in 132 countries for a variety of purposes such as corporate strategic planning, community-project design and peacemaking in the Middle East.
The process enables groups of any size to address complex, important issues and achieve meaningful results quickly.
A common result of this process is a powerful, effective way of connecting and strengthening what already occurs within your organization, such as:
√ Enhanced performance
√ Engagement with passion and responsibility
√ Learning and development
√ Planning and action
√ Strengthening relationships enabling attainment of organizational goals and objectives
In Open Space meetings, events and organizations, participants create and manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme of strategic importance, such as: What is our strategy for reaching our organizational aims and objectives?
For over twenty-five years this facilitation process has become an intentional leadership practice.
Opening the space for authentic dialogue to take place creates inspired organizations, where ordinary people work together to create regular extraordinary results.
Assisting you to create an environment where team and organizational members are living life abundantly.
Living team & organizational life abundantly in every moment!
