Facilitation

Facilitation that Casts a Beacon on Effective Teams

At Business Success Tools LLC, we believe that effective teams are crucial to organizational success. And effectiveness starts with teams making the right decisions—and implementing those decisions in the right ways.

Problem is, teams often make the wrong decisions and implement them in irrational ways. Sometimes, the team members who speak the loudest or most often—or those with the most seniority or the strongest relationship with the boss—end up with the most influence over decisions. Often times, it is the decision- making process teams use to make their decisions that is flawed. This is not a formula for success.

Our facilitation services are designed to inject much-needed focus and rationality to team-based work. First, we work with you to look at how decisions are made, making sure there are clearly defined criteria for what constitutes a good decision. Then we assess the process through which teams reach decisions, making sure they are structured, appropriate, and effective.

Our work typically involves either basic facilitation, which supports a group as it addresses one substantive problem or developmental facilitation, which helps a group permanently improve the way it works across a range of issues.

Our facilitation typically consists of:

Developing ground rules for managing group interactions.
Sharing proven techniques for starting and ending meetings.
Helping team members deal with emotions constructively when they arise in team settings.
Applying a process for setting goals and moving the group toward meeting stated goals.
In short, we help groups achieve their true creative and problem-solving potential, thereby unleashing higher levels of performance.

Why hire an outside facilitator to assist your teams? Because as a company outsider, we can provide an objective perspective that shines a light on needed changes. Insiders simply can’t provide such a perspective.
