Productive Meetings That Create Results

Purpose:

Your meetings have to be productive and meet your goals. And if you can produce innovative solutions while having fun and maybe even learning, that’s even better.

For small meetings and large, we’ll help you design, facilitate and inspire people along the way to cause breakthrough solutions to problems for products, and in strategic planning. We work with groups and teams to lead them through processes and techniques to smash the obstacles and boundaries of conventional thinking and plow into a new paradigm. Don’t worry, you won’t need to carry additional insurance.

Meeting Design and Facilitation:

What kinds of sessions do we design and facilitate? In general, we work with groups and teams to solve problems such as:

  • Process Improvement
  • Business Continuity Assurance Planning
  • New Product Development
  • Marketing Plan Development
  • Organizational Issues Resolution
  • Strategic Planning
  • Product Naming
  • Vision And Mission
  • War Gaming
  • Team-Building Interventions
  • Decision-Making
  • Creative Problem Solving

What do the facilitated meetings and sessions look like?

No two programs really look alike. We work with groups small and large, staffing them with the appropriate number of facilitators from New & Improved, or training facilitators from yours. We isolate the meeting attendees from the rest of the world and lead them through a range of techniques and creativity exercises that get their brains working in different ways and thinking about issues from new perspectives. Our techniques are varied to take advantage of the fact that people learn, think, and act in different ways. To the outsider, it can look like anything from a quiet, intentional conversation to a group of people getting a bit wild (or a lot wild) in a unique and creative multi-media environment.

Frank the Gator

Frank Talk from a Gator So here’s what really happens. We put a bunch of people together, turn off the rules for normal thinking, suspend the laws of physics, and have a lot of fun doing strange activities to punch through conventional thinking. Out of the box thinking replaces normal thinking by people who are knowledgeable about the subject area. Big ideas result. Breakthroughs take place. People are amazed. Choirs of angels sing. And then EVERYONE LEAVES THE ROOM and pretends nothing unique happened and that they didn't give in to the fun and frenzy or steady, quiet intentional conversation of a facilitated session. Yet the solutions and action plans that were developed create extraordinary results. Secretly, they’re all smiling.
