What is Facilitation?

Facilitation allows a group or organization to get to a desired state quickly and easily.

Quality facilitation includes the ability to help the organization better understand what it is trying to accomplish and determining where it stands on this journey. This includes making the journey as lively, interesting and productive as possible.

We deliver results with groups as small as eight and as large as 1,500! Our facilitators are called to work worldwide. Facilitation experience counts when you want to get to the right answer.

It is essential for on-going conversations to discover approaches and solutions that a critical mass of participants can support and implement. Starfield Consulting will help you make these discoveries enabling you to achieve better and faster results.

Through effective facilitated processes, stakeholders can update their learning, share perceptions and discover where they have common ground for moving forward and developing commitments to act. The role of facilitation is to create the conditions for the stakeholders to find solutions, not to resolve the conflicts for the participants.

Why Facilitation?

A key benefit of Starfield’s facilitation service is that facilitators are experienced change management practitioners – a minimum of fifteen years - and are able to produce tangible results from the facilitation process.

Facilitators are trained to listen, to connect to the flow or energy of the group and to use facilitation approaches that will enable both learning and the creation of momentum for achieving the organization's intent.
Facilitators develop trust with all stakeholders by ensuring their views are heard, and that they can find solutions by working together.

Starfield provides participants with information and processes that allow them to be informed without being overwhelmed. Starfield’s facilitators work with the sponsor to clarify context and intent and then to develop design.

The following are some of the approaches Starfield Consulting employs:
