Facilitation
CONSULTING SERVICES

Getting you where you want to be

An effective meeting requires more than just having the right people in a room. It begins with defining a clear objective, understanding the perspectives of those who will be attending, and thoughtfully approaching stakeholder engagement to ensure that every voice is heard and that all the relevant information is brought into the room.

Milepost Consulting has deep expertise in facilitating groups, both large and small, to accomplish their goals in the timeframe available so that they can walk away with tangible accomplishments, action items and next steps. We view facilitation as an art that must be practiced and evaluated in order to be effective. Whether you are engaging a group for the first time, desire to reset expectations with a group that has been meeting for a long time or using a meeting for innovation and inspiration, we have a toolkit that will address your and your group’s needs.

We begin with our pre-meeting planning assessment to understand and clarify your objectives, gain insight into your participants and develop the meeting plan. This includes pre-meeting communications, logistics, agenda development and materials creation. Our team of expert facilitators guides your team through the agenda, ensuring your participants are fully engaged in a productive dialogue and retain their focus, energy and enthusiasm for the topic. Post-meeting activities include identifying opportunities to improve upon your stakeholder engagement efforts and providing you with meeting documentation in a “ready to share” format.
