Successful organizations recognize that to remain
competitive and responsive, they must involve their people in problem-solving and planning.  Leaders of corporations and other institutions are increasingly using facilitation to
introduce and use collaborative problem-solving to develop solutions to complex challenges, achieve consensus, and articulate an actionable share vision.  A facilitation led by Principal Michael Rion, who is recognized for his exceptional skills as a facilitator, permits CEO's and key officials to play a critical role in initiating a collaborative problem-solving process while enabling them to participate fully in the development of solutions.

Used successfully by corporations, public policy committees, community and educational groups, outcomes are creative solutions owned by and credited to the group, not the
facilitator, even though his role was essential.  Michael Rion provides a guiding presence which enables participates to work within agreed boundaries in an autonomous way that taps both individual creativity and the power of group
dynamics.

Applications:

  • To develop solutions that depend on the collaboration of many and the consideration of divergent points of view
  • To help develop a shared vision and translate it into achievable and measurable results
  • To help develop consensus and create innovative
    solutions               
  • To introduce and foster on-going collaborative problem-solving and participative management

Methodology:

     Michael Rion is skilled in using proven facilitation techniques and a flexible structure that is modified during use to meet the needs of the particular situation and composition of the group.  He uses a variety of practical consensus building techniques and proven communications and planning tools.  The degree of structure used is usually dictated by the nature of the problems being addressed.  With a group motivated to solve a problem, Resources sets clear limits and guidelines as a framework which the group uses and shapes to develop its own solutions.  Successful facilitation results in a committed team of individuals with a clear path for implementation.
