Facilitation Services SIN 874-2
Group interaction through meetings can be a costly and inefficient process. Through effective facilitation organizations will realize efficient meetings and significant cost avoidance. The following outlines our facilitation services.
Problem Solving: HiPerf provides facilitation to individuals and to teams.
We are also available to assist in-house facilitators with approaching any
problem situation in a systematic and logical way. This includes
preparation, analyzing the problem(s), generating alternatives, making a
decision, action planning, evaluation and implementation.
Defining and Refining Agendas and Meeting Planning: HiPerf will provide
meeting management support and facilitation service to effectively design
and conduct successful meetings. Meeting design varies from small business
meetings to large roll out events (400 – 1000 participants), including
change management events. HiPerf will conduct the event or assist our
customers with their internal management and implementation plans. This
includes acting as the government’s agent to provide the full gamut of
meeting support from advertising the event through delivery of the event.
This includes, but is not limited to, the development of the theme,
coordinating agendas, inviting guests, preparing name tags, determining
seating, coordinating multimedia, conducting group exercises, preparing
minutes of the meeting, providing facilitation services, etc.
Leading Large and Small Group Discussions: Groups and even successful teams
sometimes lose focus and have a hard time meeting objectives. HiPerf
assists large and small groups in determining the methods and resources
necessary to meet the desired outcomes and will provide group facilitation
to ensure the achievement of goals.
Resolving Disputes, Disagreements and Divergent Views: Disagreements within
the organization can polarize individuals as well as groups causing the
organization to be ineffective. HiPerf provides interventions at all levels
of the organization (executive leadership, management and employees) as well
as organizational elements (departments, union, customers, and suppliers).
Recording Discussion Content and Focusing:
Groups often require the
development of a “group memory” in order to supplement interactions as well
as become the written record of the group. HiPerf records participant input
while facilitating group interaction. HiPerf will provide drafts to support
permanent records and will assist in the development of positions for final
presentations.
Integrated Product Development Teams (IPD): The complexity of organizational
structure often requires a cross-functional team to ensure systems
integration. HiPerf facilitates the identification of appropriate team
members and the chartering of an IPD team.
