How To Plan, Design and Run Effective Meetings

Facilitation is a process -- a means of leading a group to a decision. Strategy Solutions’ experienced facilitators can help you plan, design and run effective meetings. Our professionals use a combination of approaches —consensus building, exploration of strengths and weaknesses, and team-building exercises—to ensure that your meetings are productive and efficient.

Meeting facilitation can be used for:

  • Decision making
  • Idea generation and prioritization
  • Vetting concerns about a new initiative or idea and develop consensus
  • Process evaluation and action planning

Strategy Solutions uses OptionFinder, (a wireless audience electronic polling system) to collect and tabulate group input. OptionFinder accommodates groups of 5 to 500 people. Using the OptionFinder software, we present questions or statements on a projection screen with a list of responses from which the participants choose.  OptionFinder then instantly displays a graph of the response results.  

The many benefits to using OptionFinder to collect group input include:

  • Anonymity 
  • Complete participation 
  • Speed 
  • Democracy of input 
  • Public display of everyone’s opinion

OptionFinderThis technology allows us to combine meeting results from different groups in order to gain a complete picture of a variety of opinions (even if everyone cannot attend the same meeting). OptionFinder allows a diverse group of people to know and understand others’ opinions while allowing a skilled facilitator guide a group to consensus.

Strategy Solutions also provides facilitation training for those organizations who are interested in building their internal capacity to facilitate effective meetings. Contact us at 866-480-8003 or info@getstrategy.com for more information.
