facilitating work groups

TCC staff has served as facilitators in many settings requiring various facilitative styles. This includes working with an organization's staff to tailor design a meeting process as well as facilitating and debriefing the meeting. Primary examples where TCC functions in a facilitator role include:

• Strategic Planning
• Vision, Values and Mission Development
• Systematic Problem Solving
• Team Building
• Think Tank Groups
• Customer/Organization Partnering
• Product or Service Innovation/Ideation
• Conflict Resolution
• Negotiation
• Labor-Management Cooperation
• Goal Formation

 

TCC's facilitation styles and roles vary according to specific client needs. These include:

• Leading a group or team through its agenda
• Supporting a meeting leader by facilitating the group dynamics aspect of the meeting
  • Hands-on (directive)
  • Hands-off (non-directive)
• Creating a strong participatory, interactive meeting climate
• Teaching facilitative skills to staff

  In all cases, we facilitate within the boundaries of an established organization's values and behavioral norms. If a clear set of organizational values and behavioral norms either do not exist or are in need of modification, we will also assist the organziation in this development step.
