Facilitation
I have been professionally facilitating since 1988 when I started running Total Quality Management workshops for my then employer. The essence of my facilitation is based on process consultation – ensuring that the group takes responsibility for the outcome it produces in order to maximise collaboration and ownership of agreed solutions and actions. Having
received training from a number of organisations in this field including
Cosby, KPMG, Tavistock and Sheppard Moscow, and having worked, over the years,
with the mastery of Claire Breeze and Khurshed Dehnugara of Relume, of Darren Rudkin of The Mind At Work, and of I offer my clients the following uses of facilitation: · Problem resolution · Creativity and innovation in solution design · Strategy and vision development and co-creation · Conflict surfacing, conflict management and the handling of difficult conversations · Team building · Relationship building (in such aspects as stakeholder management, supplier management, customer relationship enhancement and feedback) · Collaborative practices within the management of change · Drawing out underlying, under-the-surface issues and problems · Confronting group habits and thinking and enabling teams and groups to see and react to the impact of the way in which they think · Leadership team development · Appreciative Inquiry, positive thinking and learning from success. I have worked with a huge variety of groups with many different purposes, from 2 people to well over 200.
In recent years I have developed an expertise in running workshops in English for people where it is not their first language. I also provide training in facilitation to my clients as well as in open courses. As an associate of the Tavistock Consultancy Service I have recently been invited to co-direct a process skills course for leaders, which incorporates facilitation skills. I have a number of blue-chip clients who use my services on a regular basis. The facilitation skills provide the basis of my work with Relume, Darren Rudkin, Kube and the Tavistock. .
