About.

Established in 1997

I started facilitating I.T. requirements gathering workshops in 1990. The power of having the right people in a room with the right process in place and a willingness to ask the right questions was illuminating. It became clear that collaboration gives people what they want most in their work experience, an opportunity to contribute meaningfully and to exercise some control over their work experiences. This requires that they be heard and encouraged to participate in decision making; two activities that are fundamental to successful employee engagement. Successful collaboration is best attained through highly structured meetings in which the meeting leader (the facilitator) guides the participants through a series of steps to arrive at a result that is created and therefore owned by all participants.

Our Goal

The goal has always been to provide people with the opportunity to be heard, to help them tap into their creativity and ultimately transform themselves from being compliant to being committed. True commitment will unlock potential and not only increase productivity but satisfy the need to achieve and experience true job satisfaction. Meaningful contribution is satisfying, uplifting and re-energizing.
