“Tell us the procedural outcome you want – consensus, collegial discussion, input, mutual learning, etc. – and we will design a process that has a good chance of getting you there.” – Mary Orton
A professional facilitator designs a meeting process with the group’s desired outcome in mind. While remaining neutral as to the content of the meeting, the facilitator ensures that the agreements made are sound by designing good decision-making processes.
We will help you get the job done by engaging everyone in a process that makes sense. Together, we will transform challenging and unproductive meetings into collaborative and productive outcomes.
For example, you might need consensus on the relative priority of a large number of items with complex interrelationships and lots of uncertainty. While no one can guarantee consensus, we can design a process that has a strong likelihood of accomplishing this, in a way that is effective and even pleasant for the participants.
Expert facilitation from TMOC can help your group
• Choose the decision type (consensus, majority rule, etc.) that is right for each decision.
• Make better decisions together than one person alone could make.
• Be committed to the decisions they make.
• Improve relationships and increase openness.
• Listen to everyone in the room and build on each other’s ideas.
• Learn how to manage their own conflicts, behaviors, and relationships.
