Every year companies spend millions of dollars on consulting projects that do not achieve the desired results. One reason the projects fail is that all too often the organizations, and the consultants they engage, overlook the importance of identifying exactly what is needed before they begin their work. It’s ready, fire, fire, fire, and no aim at all. A […]

Fine Points of Sushi Preparation and Consumption

July 8, 2014 by Steve Davis 3591 Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ftraining%2Ffine-points-of-sushi-preparation-and-consumption%2FFine+Points+of+Sushi+Preparation+and+Consumption2014-07-08+07%3A34%3A25Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D359

Facilitating a group with strong egos is a lot like eating sushi. In some cases, strong egos form a healthy basis for a meeting, giving you the right nutrients for building the group and the organization. In other cases, you question the safety of these raw elements on everyone involved. Will you get a parasite […]

How often have you been in a meeting or a facilitated group only to see your collective progress thwarted by the group’s formal leader or manager? This is a common dilemma given that the manager is responsible for the product of his/her group and is therefore compelled to be integrally involved in what the group […]

Deliver the Whole Message

“The English language is built on polar terms, according to Richard Maybury of Peak Performance Group.  What are the midpoints when you try to place a term between good and bad, generous and stingy, polite and rude, success and failure?” In my experience it seems that groups do tend to polarize around any given point of controversy, […]

My close friend and colleague, Harry Webne-Behrman, while an expert on conflict resolution and baseball, he is also well versed in Yiddish. Harry loves attempting to teach me Yiddish phrases and loves it even more when I try to use them. While working on an Intervention model a while back, I discovered that the keys […]

In this modern age, we want the answers. And we want them NOW! After all, with answers comes acknowledgement, power and success. This seems self-evident in the business world.

Facilitators are keenly aware of the need to help groups embrace, enhance, and invoke processes intended to help them get the results they want in healthy ways. This attention to process is often what’s missing in our task-oriented culture. Therefore, many groups really benefit by looking at how they get things done, communicate with one […]

How excited would you be about sitting down to dinner when every night you sat down to the same dish of luke warm green peas? Doesn’t sound all that appealing does it. If you were the chef, would you expect people to be very interested in even showing up for your meals, much less being […]
