When an important conversation not only needs to start, but also deliver results

As a facilitator, the process of collective thinking is designed and guided so that participants, by including all important perspectives, can move from a clearer understanding of the situation to shared decisions and next steps.

Concept development, strategic, team collaboration, selection and expert workshops are designed and facilitated in both Hungarian and English.

When is it worth bringing in a facilitator?

Facilitation is especially useful when:

• A major decision needs to be made, but it is difficult to reach common ground;
• The foundations of a new program, service or operating model need to be developed;
• There are many stakeholders and diverse professional perspectives involved;
• Meetings regularly go round in circles;
• Not all important opinions get enough space;
• The team or the organization is facing change;
• Roles, responsibilities or operating principles need to be clarified;
• A complex problem needs to be understood and solved together;
• By the end of the workshop, decisions, priorities or a concrete action plan are needed;
• A neutral process leader is needed who is independent of the group’s content interests.

How can support be provided?

Concept development workshop

This is a good choice when the foundations of a new program, service or initiative need to be created, or when an existing concept needs to be rethought.

During the process, the following are clarified:

• What problem is being addressed;
• Who is affected by the initiative;
• What goals are to be achieved;
• What professional and operational principles are needed;
• What possible solutions exist;
• Which direction is feasible;
• What the next steps should be.

Possible outcomes: a shared concept, service model, program structure or implementation framework.

Strategy and planning workshop

This is useful when a shared direction, priorities and implementation steps need to be defined.

Possible outcomes of the process:

• a shared understanding of the current situation;
• clarified goals;
• defined priorities;
• decision-making criteria;
• a concrete action plan;
• assigned responsibilities and deadlines.

Team collaboration facilitation

For teams that want to shape their collaboration more consciously.

The joint work can focus on:

• clarifying roles and expectations;
• uncovering communication bottlenecks;
• identifying shared values and resources;
• developing operating agreements;
• strengthening trust and collaboration;
• processing changes or new operating situations.

Expert and stakeholder consultation

This is worth choosing when the knowledge and perspectives of several organizational areas, experts or stakeholder groups need to be brought into a shared system.
