Meeting Planning & Facilitation
Because great meetings don’t happen by luck!
Murphy Dynamics provides custom facilitation and consulting to groups, teams, associations, and organizations to help groups reach their goals, whether the group is:
- 5 concerned neighbors in a church,
- 25 project team members at an annual retreat, or
- 100 stakeholders on a statewide task force.
Facilitation is a process of inquiry to assist groups in discovering their own answers. The facilitator sets the stage for connection to occur. Our team uses ToP facilitation methods to create an engaging environment for your organization to successfully plan a project, initiative, event, strategic plan and more. Through the process of asking focused questions and listening, we help groups determine their core values, beliefs, and needs, ultimately illuminating the path forward. Our consultants can facilitate short or long-term projects and guide teams through a successful and inclusive planning process. The goal is increased engagement, productivity, and outcomes.
We work collaboratively with our clients to identify needs, expectations and desired outcomes and assist in developing leadership, team building, communication, relationship, and management skills. As a neutral guide for your group, we do not tell you what you do, instead we ask focused questions, practice active listening, and use participatory processes to aid you in your reflection, learning, and strategy development.
Our planning and facilitation process follows a systematic, yet tailored approach designed to fit your unique needs:
1. We start with a Discovery Session where we identify needs, goals and expectations; discuss group characteristics and participants; and determine feasibility of facilitation.
2. A proposed plan is developed and using collaborative review and feedback cycles, an agreed upon approach is identified.
3. Now, we are ready for logistical planning and relationship building with the group.
4. After facilitation of the actual meeting, we provide all documentation and provide implementation coaching.
