Facilitation

Focusing on the Heart of the Matter

Facilitate roughly translates to “to make easy” from latin. Information Insights’ facilitation services provide teams the ability to focus on the heart of conversations that matter. How? Our trained facilitators guide teams to find common ground and reach shared goals, offering innovative ways of having conversations, sharing insights, and consistently providing generous support.

We start any facilitation by hearing directly from the team we will be supporting. Through one-on-one conversations, surveying, or a combination, we unearth the answer to the question “what is going on here?” so we can meet you where you are and customize a plan for where you want to be. From there, we carefully design an agenda to support meeting outcomes and goals, supporting the full team in adopting and adhering to effective modes of communication and collaboration.

Ideally, we work ourselves out of a job by providing teams with the tools they need to get to the next level of working together long after our work together ends. But we have repeat clients who value having us in the room to “hold” the process, so they (and you!) can focus on content.

As a new Executive Director stepping into a planning session with seasoned board members, your Consensor technology helped me gain clarity on the important near-term steps our Board needed to see related to our leadership transition efforts. Equally important, the time you dedicated to personally preplanning with our Board Chair and myself, as well as Frana Burtness-Adams' expertise in skillfully leading us through over 20 key decisions in a highly efficient manner, showed great respect to our Board, whose time was limited.

Each of the issues that we wanted to address were discussed during the meeting. We reached a good resolution with buy-in from the whole team. Alli worked to keep all of the team members engaged, which helped to achieve a sound result.
