Aha! Consulting - Facilitation

Facilitation

Facilitation is about providing a safe and inclusive process for individuals (sometimes with quite opposing views) to come together and progress a way forward. An important part of facilitation is ensuring that all individuals are heard and that this 'hearing' moves a group towards an outcome (ie: not just a talk fest). This does not mean everyone has to agree, but it does mean they get to the end together.

Aha! Consulting provides an impartial position and a range of processes to ensure all parties have an equal voice, to encourage participation and sharing of viewpoints and to promote understanding. We keep sessions flowing, focused, productive and FUN!

Facilitation is useful for:

Organisational or community visioning
Stakeholder/community meetings/consultation
Strategic/operational planning
Team and/or project planning sessions
Change management and culture development
Important internal meetings
Plenary sessions at conferences
Independent meeting chair

Why use an independent facilitator?

To provide a neutral person for internal and external stakeholders to share their visions, views and vexations
To provide a fresh pair of eyes to assist the participants to understand each others views and issues
To ensure all parties have an equal voice. Subordinates, CEO, Communities etc
To "hold the mirror" to the group in a constructive and productive way, without fear of compromising their role outside the session
To keep sessions flowing and productive
To keep the process on track to ensure the outcomes are met in a timely manner.
