A skilled facilitator brings value to every meeting, whether a large scale event, executive level strategy session, or project team working meeting. Our facilitators assess the unique needs (e.g. workgroup tasks, intended outcomes, group ethos) of each engagement and tailor their facilitation approach accordingly. Facilitators help participants generate and analyze ideas, see relationships and dependencies between ideas, and develop recommendations based on these ideas. An effective facilitator understands the dynamics of a group meeting and draws on the existing knowledge of the participants to guide the discussion. Our approach involves documenting a variety of ideas, reaching agreement, or achieving consensus. Each Ambit facilitator has been trained in a myriad of skills to include: conflict resolution, educational design, communications, and change management.
Ambit facilitators will work with the client to determine the desired outcome of the meeting and create an understanding of the purpose and intended objectives and desired outputs of the meeting. We review stakeholder lists to ensure all necessary individuals are identified. With this information, Ambit facilitators select appropriate techniques to best engage participants and achieve outcomes. Ambit facilitators will then craft an agenda to address and map how to achieve the intended outcome.
