An objective facilitation process for meetings is essential. Accelerated Excellence facilitation is based on focused outcomes, strong agendas, timeliness, practical accountable action plans and the high level of professionalism you would expect for your business.

We believe that facilitation is much more than setting a process in train and ensuring people leave with a desired outcome, plan or goal.  Facilitation is about capturing the ideas of participants and enabling them to harness their own energies, skills and group wisdom.

At a deeper level masterful facilitation assists a group of people to understand their collective beliefs and free themselves to think in new ways about challenges and situations.

It assists the entire group to find the ways to say what they really think, to deliver engagement, alignment and implementation.

Within the context of developing sustainable organisations we believe facilitated processes play a significant role in providing spaces for creating shared understandings of core issues and values. 

Participants experience:

• a welcoming and ‘safe’ space in which they can say what is on their minds
• a deeper level of conversation/dialogue that develops deeper understanding
• surprise at their ability to get so much focussed work done in a short period of time
• increased energy levels and commitment to the agreed outcomes, and
• a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment in working together

Accelerated Excellence offers facilitation for varies contexts including:

• strategic or business planning
• problem solving meetings
• stakeholder or community engagement, and
• very large groups in organisation-wide consultation

We invest time in getting to know you and your culture.  We very clearly and specifically define the outcomes you are seeking, and ensure the facilitation process is able to deliver them.

We tailor the process to your requirements.  Facilitation is a set of skills that can be employed using any one of different approaches.  We ensure we have the right facilitators and effective facilitation processes to maximise engagement and delivery of outcomes.

We evaluate our results and evolve the process into its next delivery phase, as appropriate.

TESTIMONIALS

"Josie has facilitated a number of sessions for QIC, working with our managers and leaders in QIC's cultural redevelopment program. Given her previous results, her credibility with staff and the trust she had built across the leadership group, I asked Josie to help us to re-shape our Leaders' Forum. Josie played an important role in helping me establish a very different feel to the Forum and the behaviours of participants. As is her style, she was quickly able to get the "buy-in" of participants and establish the rules for the forum which included open, honest and free discussion. This set the scene for some active and robust discussions. Josie's frank and outcomes orientated approach ensured that the forum delivered tangible outcomes which we are now working through as a group."

“Josie uses her vast coaching experience to challenge and inspire in a seamless and engaging way.  What was my thrown together agenda, in Josie’s hands became a thoughtful, considered learning and planning journey, taking into account our diverse needs and getting us to collaborate to get to where we needed to go.  I unreservedly recommend her coaching and facilitation services.”
