What is meeting facilitation?
Facilitation is when a neutral third party helps a group achieve its goals and work more effectively together.
The facilitator helps create and facilitate the meeting process, tracking and monitoring group participation, ideas, action items, and challenges while helping the group follow their agenda. This allows all group members to fully participate in the meeting. The facilitator also helps the group work through any difficulty or interpersonal challenges that arise.
Is facilitation worth it?
To answer this question, we first need to calculate how much time and money you are going to spend just by having the meeting.
Total cost just to hold the meeting (without facilitation): $0.
The meeting will require a total of 0 work hours with a direct cost of $0 and an opportunity cost of $0.
This is not to mention any costs associated with the meeting room, refreshments, materials, and A/V equipment!
If the purpose of the meeting is important to your group or organization, and you are going to spend the time and money to have it, it is critical to have a professional facilitator from CoreLink Services involved to ensure that the meeting is as productive as possible.
