Facilitation

Tapping the Power of Collaboration

As the world grows more complex and interdependent, the need to effectively conduct high-stakes meetings becomes paramount. And as a leader you have an enormous amount of accountability for making decisions that optimize alignment between vision and strategy execution. When your people feel valued, they are best positioned to help design and deploy actions for sustainable results. An experienced facilitator following a proven process can help you plan and conduct your meetings to increase your chances for success.

 Particulars

Facilitation scenarios include:

Continuous Process Improvement

Business processes need to evolve to keep pace with rapidly changing customer demands, competitive threats, and technology advances to name a few.  Tapping into your greatest assets, your team’s expertise, coupled with a proven methodology can deliver lasting results.  We’ll identify critical customer needs, measure performance, analyze gaps, select effective solutions, mobilize commitment, and refine structures to support your new design.

Team Performance

There’s nothing more rewarding than being a part of a high performing team and nothing more frustrating than being part of a team drowning in personal drama and wasting precious time.  With some focused attention we can work with your newly formed or existing teams to improve collaboration and results.  We’ll learn about each other’s styles, align our goals, clarify roles, set behavioral expectations, and develop key working processes.


Setting Direction / Aligning Strategy 

Most organizations are complex and have multiple competing priorities.  Values, mission, and vision have the power to adjust habits and guide action on a daily basis.  Together they can define a team’s identity, hone a strategy, and elicit commitment.  Beginning with an inspiring vision, we’ll determine and refine core strategies, and ensure optimal alignment with your team’s prioritized work plans.

Change Leadership

Studies have proven that business results are highly correlated to and dependent upon people’s ability to change their behavior.  Understanding human dynamics of change, and preparing for the emotional response it can generate, form the foundation of our approach.  We’ll identify stakeholders, assess needs, develop training and communication plans, coach leaders, and optimize results.

I had the pleasure of working with Larry when he facilitated a weekend retreat for a leadership group I am part of. Larry focused on several core areas covering mind, spirit, physical, and nutritional health. I walked away from the retreat with better habits for keeping my mind in better shape to manage my day-to-day responsibilities. I would highly recommend Larry for a leadership group facilitation, or one on one life coaching.

If you are looking for someone passionate, insightful, and driven around change management and process improvement, you are in the right place. Larry and I both worked under the Master Guru of GE's Change Acceleration Process (CAP), GE's Work-Out, and various other process improvement techniques. We learned from the best, and now Larry has taken those learnings and put them to work through many years of hard work and experience. And, as a bonus, you'll find that Larry is a delight to work with!

Larry and I work closely together on a very challenging program at an Ivy League Business School and he performs flawlessly. Because the program is designed to flex to fit the immediate needs of the client, the consultants have to flex their style between straightforward teaching, facilitation, and coaching. Larry strikes the right balance between having a commanding presence to hold their attention when teaching, having the ability to challenge them and being approachable and friendly.
