Facilitation

Group facilitation

We facilitate groups in a purposeful and creative way to ensure quality, sound and practical outcomes. Once the key objectives to be achieved have been distilled and agreed, the workshop design is crafted in close consultation with the client.

An important strength of Jo Leonard and Associates is the robust conceptual thinking combined with solid group process skills that ensure strong results are achieved and the group accomplishes its goals.

Examples of types of sessions Jo Leonard and Associates have recently facilitated are:

New teams setting up for success - establishing ways of working, communicating, dealing with conflict and achieving outstanding outcomes
Team audits - how are things tracking, what's working, what's working, what can we do differently?
Strategic planning sessions - establishing shared direction, commitment, pathways and accountabilities
Various focus sessions as a result of organisational reviews, culture surveys, process improvements
Organisational values development - connecting with different parts of the organisation to identify key values, collaborate and synthesis options and opportunities
Futures planning - blue sky thinking, then testing for robustness
Community engagement - what do the key stakeholders really think? How can really effective consultation best occur?
Conference facilitation - creating energy, engagement and connection for all participants
