Facilitation and issue resolution
Overcome process challenges and impasses to reach sound, clear, fair and broadly-accepted solutions and implementation plans. We provide multiple styles of facilitation (including consensus and parliamentary decision-making) and formats (small and large groups; meetings, retreats and assemblies; domestic and international teleconferences; and online processes). We’ll model inclusive, fun and effective process, dealing with difficult issues, dynamics and participants.
Strategic planning and organizational development
Improve your group's effectiveness through tailored approaches to organizational and environmental assessment, strategy development, goal-setting, structural alignment, action and implementation plans, and evaluation. Working at the organizational, program or unit level, we'll clarify useful concepts, ensure balanced participation, work responsively through ongoing feedback, and provide follow-up support.
