• Facilitation & Team Building: Facilitation help groups of people make more effective decisions together. Organizations and working Groups benefit from facilitated brainstorming. Ideas generated within the group give rise to a collective sense of ownership and pride. Facilitated group meetings get right to the heart of the matter while creating a positive, safe and creative work environment. Personal agenda's and personality issues can be transformed into a common cause. Diverse and opposing views can find common ground while generating options that are appealing to both sides. Identifying needs can be easier, faster and more fulfilling. Give your meetings a big boost and new energy to move forward into the future. Get better results.
Facilitation is a tool to enable groups to discuss and plan more effectively together. Facilitators encourage principles of inclusion, shared understanding, full participation, and shared responsibility. This occurs in the context of meetings, focus groups or staff team building sessions.
Facilitation is a method of Mediation in which the interpersonal levels of conflict are not the issue, but rather the focus is on generating the common vision for the future of the organization or groups of organization. The purpose is to create options and find common ground by which to build a cooperative, productive, working team environment.
• Group Consensus Facilitation Groups who come together in consensus display a high level of function and committment to the outcome. Conflict Mediation Network offers facilitation skills and conflict resolution services - adapted to the needs of specific groups - to build consensus and get things done. Consensus Facilitation provides a safe and productive environment in which people with varying viewpoints and philosophies can come together to discuss issues of common concern.
• Avoid Bog Down. Does your group get stuck on the first idea that comes up. All of the ideas that could (and should!) surface somehow don't and the group does not accomplish what most of the people attending the meeting were hoping to accomplish.
• Avoid Dominate Personalities. What do you do when one person dominates a group's discussion? The negative impact of such a person is especially difficult when the person has high status.
• Provides a method by which all voices can be heard.
• Facilitates decision making.
