. When a meeting has to be productive, an outside facilitator can add tremendous value. The facilitator brings objectivity, neutrality, process know-how, and a portfolio of tools for bringing out the best in a group. With a third-party facilitator guiding the process, everyone else can delve into the content -- ensuring full participation and high productivity. Tom Terez has been facilitating groups for twenty years. Along the way, he has built a network of facilitators. If you're planning an important meeting or series of meetings, a process expert from this group can: Help you clarify the objectives for your session -- whether it's a day-long meeting or retreat, a multi-day event, or a series of meetings over several weeks or months Develop a detailed process plan and agenda based on the objectives and other key information Provide on-site facilitation Facilitators from this network can add value in a variety of group sessions, including: Strategic Planning Problem Analysis Process Improvement Idea Generation and Visioning Decision-Making and Consensus-Building Needs Assessment Action Planning Focus Groups We can also provide facilitation training and coaching to help your organization build its own internal capacity. This is done in tandem with actual facilitated sessions, so new facilitators learn by doing. Call 614-488-9721, or write to contact@TomTerez.com, or use the online contact form.
