There are times when the outcomes you are seeking can really benefit from using an external facilitator.

There can be many reasons why!

• The person who normally facilitates is too involved in the content
• The decision is large, and requires skilled group decision making
• There is a need to ensure tht all diverse viewpoints are welcomed
• There is a need to demonstrate the independence of the facilitator
• There are complex dynamics at play within the group
• Parties that normally do not work together, have come together for a particular project
• Community engagement
• Conflict resolution
• Controversial issues

Our definition of facilitation is: to help make possible the purpose of the group. 

We often say that much of our facilitation work is about designing simple practical processes, and ensuring they are well facilitated.  Over the last 25 years we have developed our own 20:80 rule here - that good outcomes are 20% good process and 80% skilled facilitation.

We specialise in this work!  We are at your service.
