Services | Stakeholder Meeting Design & Facilitation

GET STARTED!

Too often meetings are simply scheduled and attended rather than designed and facilitated.  When we pause and consider the real cost of bringing talented people together as well as the ongoing cost of failing to align these team members and then missing the opportunity to get the most our of this alignment and their combined experience, meeting more intentionally becomes a clear priority.

Meeting design and facilitation by a neutral third party can help get the most out of the investment of costly resources that a meeting requires.

After helping to develop the meeting goals and agenda and ensuring that all stakeholders have been invited, a neutral third party can:

  • Help participants to prepare,
  • Guide the discussion,
  • Facilitate conversations,
  • Keep the meeting on course and schedule,
  • Maintain focus on agreed-upon goals,
  • Referee any disagreements,
  • Re-state agreements to ensure mutual understanding, and
  • Scribe and distribute the highlightskey decisionsTODOstake-aways, and next steps.

Meetings may cover business strategy, initiative dependency and prioritization, product feature ideation, third-party product selectionproblem solvingbrainstormingconsensus building, and more.

Tap into your team’s collective wisdom, while leaving you free to observe and to participate in the meeting content and free of any perception of partisanship.  The facilitator can encourage participation, buffering those who may be a little too enthusiastic, but welcoming all viewpoints, especially the crucial outliers.  Facilitators honor inclusivityinnovationdiversity, and collaboration.

Imagine your team supercharged, aligned, and positive about the future after a positive, creative meeting.

Anyone can schedule a meeting.  Planning and facilitating intentional, collaborative, productive meetings is a skill that requires maturity, discipline, and lots of practice.

Let’s discuss your stakeholders and meeting facilitation needs and bring them together!
