Meeting Facilitation Services

When you take the time to stop daily work and plan your organization's future, you spend money: the number of hours times the money you spend each hour to pay the participants, pay for the office space they aren't using, pay for the meeting space, and more. So every minute wasted is money down the drain, whether you waste it because the meeting produces no change in your organization's direction or behaviors, or because more time is used than needed to achieve those meeting results.

To ensure that your major business meetings are as cost-effective as possible, hire TeamTrainers to conduct them according to its proven best practices for effective meeting facilitation. Using the principles taught in The SuddenTeams^TM Program and our Meeting Facilitation Class, we can make the most of every minute you spend in special meetings such as:

• Corporate retreats.
• Strategic planning meetings.
• Project planning meetings.
• Joint application design (JAD) meetings.
• Workshops.

Our services can include at your option:

• Helping you identify the correct participants.
• Setting meeting goals and expected deliverables.
• Creating meeting rules to prevent time wasting.
• Arranging logistics (meeting space, catering, etc.).
• Preparation of the meeting agenda and handouts.
• Communication with participants, including reminders.
• Facilitation of the meeting.
• Recording and distribution of meeting notes.
• Evaluation by participants.
• Follow-up to ensure action items are completed.

To prepare, your TeamTrainers facilitator will take the time needed to learn your issues, technology, and industry jargon. He or she will also customize our best practices to meet your needs. The sooner you contact us, the more you can save through the efficiencies we bring to the process. But even at the last minute, our meeting facilitation methods can be quickly adapted to guarantee the highest return on your meeting investment. Though based in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, we will travel anywhere to meet your meeting needs.
