Workshop Facilitation
Unusually in the world of facilitation, Performance1 consultants understand both the world of business and the psychology of human beings. We understand how businesses in the public and private sectors get things done, and we understand how people both contribute to, and get in the way of, achieving results. Our approach to facilitation is to address both these worlds, because to address business needs without considering people leads to wasted time, money and failed projects; and to address human interaction without grounding in the work-place is more akin to a therapy group than an effective intervention in organisations charged with doing real work. We bring real expertise in designing and running whole system events that build inclusion and quickly deliver real outcomes, as well as an enhanced ability for collaboration, amongst a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and customers. For example, Julian Simcox guided a team of Environment Agency staff to design and run two national Flood Defence conferences for over 120 participants in such a way that the events themselves ran flawlessly and attracted outstandingly positive feedback from participants, who ranged from Directors to new joiners. Whilst all our consultants are adaptable and can facilitate in a range of situations, each brings specific expertise. Within our network we can identify additional consultants who can help meet emerging needs within our clients and increase the chances that an appropriate Performance1 consultant is available when needed. Even if an event is underway and different needs emerge, we can use our individual experience and networked resource to re-design our approach ‘on-the-fly’, delivering results without the need or cost of a re-run. David Clinton provides administrative and project management support for Performance1. This ensures our consultants are able to spend their time and your money doing what they do best, knowing that administrative arrangements are in safe hands.
