Introduction to Facilitation

Organizations get "stuck" from time to time in dealing with particularly difficult issues or in moving forward through a time of change. The McCammon Group’s professional facilitators work with boards, teams or work groups to identify key issues, formulate agendas for dealing with them and implement the changes they have articulated. The use of the outside facilitator, whose focus is the process, allows all members of the organizational team to participate fully and to use their substantive expertise. The facilitation process also may point out the need for expert assistance in a particular area; for example, strategic, financial, technological, etc.

Areas in which facilitation may be useful include:

• Board Retreats
• Strategic Planning
• Conflict within Work Groups
• Board-Executive Issues
• Team Building
