Group Facilitation
We face an increasingly competitive world. Our time, energy and discretionary efforts are becoming more precious commodities. In many organisations, there appears to be a growing cynicism about the very idea of attending meetings, conferences and events.
In the push for efficiency and economy, there is a continued effort to minimise the need for people to meet face-to-face. We believe that high-tech communication and meeting tools have their place, but there are practical limits to their applications and what they can effectively accomplish.
There are complex situations and issues that relate to organisational leadership and team effectiveness. Personal relationships and your company’s performances are involved. The stakes are high. There might be a clear need for people to meet face-to-face, fully engage in an effective process, and do the hard work that’s required to achieve meaningful results.
A facilitated process of planning and preparation can help your business to deal with these realities, continuously improve your team’s performance, and increase your company’s value to its partners, customers and stakeholders.
Why would you need professional facilitators?
- To involve people, generate creative solutions, develop strategies and form consensus.
- To narrow down a broad range of options.
- To manage a complex meeting where stakeholders are seen to have a vested interest.
- To de-brief a complicated experience and derive knowledge from it.
- To raise any ‘difficult to discuss’ issues.
- To allow for conflict resolution/mediation of contentious issues.
- To develop a vision for the future.
Tindzaba Consulting is experienced in the facilitation of:
- Task-focused workshops
- Cross-functional work groups
- Action planning forums
- Town hall-style meetings and citizen’s working groups
Our approach
Tindzaba Consulting’s approach is based on a set of core values. We use a systems thinking approach, which enables us to clearly define our role as facilitators and to develop agreements with a group about how they will work together.
We can identify functional and dysfunctional aspects of a group, and intervene to help the group increase its effectiveness. This can allow a group to explore and change how actors think. It can also improve their ability to manage difficult situations.
Our core values, principles and methods of group facilitation are equally applicable to all of our services. Read through our services via the menu on the right.
