Summary

How often have you walked away from a workshop feeling that it fell short of achieving the necessary outcomes? Both in terms of hard decisions or outputs, or softer outcomes such as meaningful discussion, engagement and ownership? Beyond wasted time, the real cost of poor workshops and meetings is significant. All those people and other resource costs: before, during and after each event. Over time, objectives are not well met and benefits are not fully realised. Moreover, ongoing frustration and stress can lead people to resent meetings as an imposition on their being, not just their work. The idea that meetings are a “necessary evil” fundamentally limits your capacity to manage key conversations. In reality, project facilitation is a technical competency, alongside others. It enables those key conversations to happen more effectively, efficiently and elegantly. It is available to everyone. David helps his clients build their capability to enable all their stakeholders to participate in key project conversations.
