 Facilitator:
"One who
makes a process easy or easier; agent for easy change"
Scott
McDonald provides facilitator services to companies and industry
associations. The bottom line is to get appropriate input, make decisions,
and provide a framework for them to be executed. There is a line that one
must walk to ensure no one dominates the discussion, that egos are not
unduly bruised and that the agenda is covered within the time available.
Scott
McDonald brings a sense of fairness, creativity and fun
to meetings through discussion generation exercises (when needed),
brainstorming, need/opportunity assessment, conflict resolution, and
humor.
Great
advance planning is where the process starts. Often written or telephone
surveys can be used to reveal hidden agendas, priorities and conflicts
before the meeting starts. He prides himself of getting to the heart of
key issues before the session is called to order. In this way, working
with the meeting organizers, business can be accomplished, time-wasters
can be avoided, and every participant can leave feeling the meeting was
justified and productive.
It
is one thing to form a policy. It is quite another to get it carried out.
Scott offers a program to make sure policies are carried out through
various creative and intuitive ways. Our Facilitator Services include:
- Follow-Up Service
- Written Summary Reports
- Reward Systems for Compliance
- Communications Reviews
- Motivation for ALL Meeting Participants
- Post-meeting Surveys
If you want your meeting to avoid the pitfalls and pratfalls of the past,
Scott McDonald is a great facilitator/moderator.
