Facilitation

Facilitation

Facilitation skills to enable groups to work effectively together and harness their collective wisdom.

In working with large and small groups in very diverse situations we take a flexible approach to respond to the needs and context of each project, without being tied to any particular facilitation or research technique. As facilitators our role is not to judge or take a position on what is being discussed (the content) but to support a safe and productive process for everyone involved to make well-informed decisions.

With over 30 years of experience working in groups with diverse interests, issues and communication needs from large conference settings and public dialogue, to board and team strategy sessions, we will work in partnership with you to engage and inspire.

Capacity Building

Capacity Building

Some people call it training, we prefer capacity building because training assumes you are an empty vessel and we have all the knowledge! Collaborations approaches professional development as a pear learning opportunity to build the skills and awareness of individuals to lead and work with groups. We look forward to seeing you at one of our up-coming workshops or working with you to design a program for you and your organisation.
