How can a facilitator help you?

A professional facilitator can help a group accomplish more in less time

The main goal of a facilitator is to create a productive environment in which everyone’s opinion is heard, without a single viewpoint dominating the discussion. This allows for dynamic discussions that produce a wide variety of information and ideas that help the group achieve consensus-based problem-solving and decision-making resolutions. You might engage a facilitator when:

You have an important decisions to make
Your group is small or large, diverse or alike, in sync or in conflict, and needs to solve challenging problems
You are developing a strategic plan that needs active support of key stakeholders
You need a process expert or subject matter expert that will keep your group/team productively on track and on time … facilitators are not mere meeting managers.
