Executive Facilitation Skills for Impactful Meetings

Promoting collaboration and critical thinking is essential for creating impact aligned to strategic goals. So why do up to 75% of meetings¹ not only fail in their intent – they actually detract from both workplace satisfaction and productivity? Effective facilitation skills are critical for executives aiming to drive meaningful outcomes and foster collaborative environments.

Our Executive Facilitation Skills for Impact Program is meticulously designed to equip leaders and directors with the tools and techniques necessary to harness the full potential of their teams and board members.

Unlock the true potential of your Thinking Systems

Any time you bring together a group of people directed towards a goal you have the opportunity to create a “thinking system”. Advisory boards, governance boards, committees and project meetings are all examples of “thinking systems”. Once you have built your structure on a best practice foundation, you can maximise value and impact with expert facilitation.

Leveraging over 15 years of practical research and global implementation, the Executive Facilitation Skills for Impact program is designed to unlock the value of your advisory, governance, executive and project teams to empower your organisation to create exceptional results, perfectly aligned to your strategic priorities.

This group program is ideal for the advisory board manager, sponsor (CEO and Directors) and the executive management team including key stakeholders in governance and communications. It is delivered in conjunction with the Best Practice For Advisory Boards & Committees program to create a powerful professional development opportunity for your organisation.
