What is faciliation?

Jemstone Consultancy facilitation enhances group and social processes. We can help improve the effectiveness of any group of people, however large or small, working together on an issue. Some of the benefits you can expect from using our facilitators with your group are:

	all involved feel part of the process and remain committed to the activity
	time is used effectively
	communication is enhanced
	difficult topics can be discussed
	agreements reached are based on commitment rather than just compliance

What can I expect if I decide to use a facilitator?

Our facilitator or team developer can work with you in a number of ways. If you already have a structure for your planned event, then you may want the facilitator to concentrate solely on group process on the day. Alternatively, you may be unsure how best to plan the time to get the outcome you want, or indeed who needs to be there. In that case our facilitator can help you design and structure the event as well as facilitate it. Our facilitator can also provide a report on their experience, and recommendations about what to do next.

In general terms, the process of using one of our facilitators is likely to involve them in some or all of the following events

	taking a brief, establishing who needs to be part of the event, and agreeing a contract of work
	confirming the contract and costs in writing
	interviewing or surveying key people
	discussing key findings from the interviews with you
	proposing and agreeing the structure for the event and desired outcomes
	making sure people have the information they need before the event
	preparing any materials necessary for the event
	facilitating the event
	providing a follow up report
	meeting to discuss the event and the report

So how much is this likely to cost?

Given the variety of events that can be facilitated, the answer has to be, it depends on what is required. However Jemstone Consultancy is committed to openness and transparency in our charging arrangements. Following the initial meeting with your facilitator, a contract will be confirmed covering the work to be done and the charge.
