We understand that if you are looking for a facilitator, you must have an important meeting to run. Therefore we do all we can to design the meeting so that you can relax, focus on the content and be successful.

 “You have a remarkable ability to bring together a team and unite them in a process of discovery that is both effective and highly enjoyable. Our workshop generated a powerful set of ideas and framed them into the foundation of an effective business strategy from which we are already seeing the positive benefits.”

Adrian Cannon. Former MD, Accourt Consulting

We provide a choice of service…

Like a building architect, within the Meeting Architect package we offer a range of services to match your needs. We can:

1. Design your meeting only and brief you on facilitating it


2. Design it and develop your facilitators to run it


3. Design, facilitate and report on it

We are qualified and experienced in a range of facilitation methods, including Solutions Focus and Creative Solution Finding. We design your meeting for you, using the most appropriate method.

We base the meeting design on five principles:

1. Create a great mental and physical environment


2. Foster collaboration


3. Inject variety


4. Involve the real world


5. Engage people on different levels

We design your meeting to encourage and enable people to Communicate Powerfully, Act with Agility and Think Flexibly, building on our theme of CAT Leadership. We role model CAT Leadership ourselves, adjusting our facilitation style to suit the group, ensuring people work well together and enjoy the workshop. After all, it is one or two days of their life.

We design to make your life easier…

When you work with us as Meeting Architects, we will use our meeting development process to collaborate with you as smoothly as possible.

Process

After your initial contact you will:

1. Complete a set of initial questions we supply to help you focus on your outcomes and other essential factors. you can answer the questions alone and send them to us or we can interview you on the telephone; it’s your choice.


2. Receive a fixed cost proposal from us. This will detail the outcomes and the scope of the workshop, along with a list of our timed actions and a timetable.


3. Agree the proposal. After sign off, we will create an initial workshop design.


4. Agree the inital workshop design. This may require a discussion with you. Once agreed, we will prepare a detailed design and a brief for the attendees.


5. Agree and distribute the brief. This brief includes a short questionnaire for the attendees to identify what they want to achieve, their concerns and any questions they may have. We compile the feedback if necessary and report to you, sometimes adjusting the design if necessary.

We facilitate so you can focus on the content and relax…

We will make your experience of the meeting as pleasurable and as productive as possible:

1. We facilitate the workshop process and record all information ~ the content you handle with your expertise


2. We consult regularly with you during the workshop to obtain your feedback, discuss any potential issues (such as timing or people issues) and deal with them as necessary


3. We adjust the design as the workshop develops if necessary, because of timing changes or changes in requirement


4. We provide you with a report on the workshop, if you request this service. We provide key points in the main body, along with photographs of the team in action. We list all other information in Appendices so you have all the information captured.  Only when you are satisfied with the report do we invoice you.
