Facilitation Services 

With extensive experience managing group dynamics, GenQuest's facilitation services provide an exceptional value-add for meetings, roundtable discussions, conferences, and events. We run effective meetings that keep all sides focused on the tasks at hand and provide an atmosphere conducive to real dialogue and consensus building. We focus on the process so you can focus on the content. The result of our facilitation is an efficient and productive decision-making process.

Our facilitators are highly experienced in a variety of session types, including: strategic planning, compliance, communication strategy, problem solving, organizational redesign, and conflict resolution.

 

Our facilitators are trained in many techniques that keep meetings within time allocations, assure all meeting members are encouraged and engaged in discussions, diffuse tense situations, establish consensus from varying viewpoints, and keep a diverse group focused on meeting objectives. Emphasis is put on facilitation techniques that monitor and maintain a positive meeting process. These techniques include:

Staying neutral Listening actively Asking questions to evoke participation among all attendees Paraphrasing comments Synthesizing ideas Using appropriate language Displaying a positive presence as facilitator

Keeping people on task Promoting good decision-making via the appropriate process Discussing how attendees will hold each other accountable for commitments they make Offering clear summaries Role modeling how to give and receive feedback Using flip charts Placing topics that are off subject onto a "Parking Lot" flip chart.
