Meeting Facilitation

A well designed and well facilitated meeting makes the difference between participants who are engaged and excited and those who walk away frustrated and feeling like they have wasted their time. Emergent Futures Consulting works with you to design and run highly successful, productive, and creative meetings that participants say provide opportunity for collaboration, learning, and innovation.

The key to ensuring a successful meeting is in the planning. Donna Clark works with your organizing team to ensure that there is a clearly defined purpose for the meeting and a common vision of the outcomes. Our planning processes help you to:

What meeting participants are saying:

“This was an opportunity to collaborate on work challenges; an opportunity to be constructive”
“This was the best national meeting I have ever been to—the most relaxing, creative, yet productive.”
“One of the best meetings I’ve been to in 8 years”

Ensure there is a collective understanding of the purpose for the meeting and a common vision of the outcomes.
Clarify the goals for your meeting so that they are clear, concise, meaningful and achievable.
Develop an agenda with you that addresses the issues that you need to address, instead of putting you through someone else's "cookie cutter".
Choose the right meeting methodology to achieve your goals.
Develop a plan for how to deliver the meeting report in the most beneficial way to ensure that the commitment and productivity from the meeting continue through in the workplace afterwards.
