FACILITATION
Facilitation is particularly useful when conversations, meetings, or collaborative processes matter — not because there is conflict, but because clarity, alignment, and shared understanding are essential.
Our facilitation services support organisations in structuring and accompanying dialogue, decision-making, and collaboration across teams, leadership groups, and governance bodies. Facilitation provides a clear framework for communication while leaving decisions and ownership fully with the people involved.
Drawing on extensive experience in cross-cultural and multi-stakeholder contexts, facilitation can be offered as a targeted intervention, a facilitated series, or as accompaniment across key phases of a project or initiative.
We work in ways that are proportionate, non-intrusive, and adapted to the client’s organisational culture and needs.
Based in Paris, facilitation services are offered both in-person and live-online across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East–Africa.

CUSTOMISED FACILITATION
Reach out to discuss the context, objectives, and expectations of the facilitation. Together, we clarify what the group wants to achieve, who is involved, and which moments would benefit from facilitation. This step helps define the appropriate scope and level of accompaniment.
Based on the agreed objectives, the facilitation process is designed and prepared. This may include agenda design, clarification of roles, and alignment on desired outcomes. Preparation ensures that conversations are focused, constructive, and respectful of participants’ time.
Facilitation of selected meetings, workshops, or conversations in a structured and neutral way. Each session is designed to support clear communication, balanced participation, and progress towards shared understanding or decisions — while ownership remains with the group.
Depending on the mandate, facilitation may include accompanying the group across key moments rather than continuous presence. This can involve participation in steering committee or working group sessions, as well as targeted one-on-one or small-group conversations where helpful.
Key points, agreements, or guiding principles are synthesised to support continuity across sessions. Where appropriate, observations or recommendations are shared to help the group move forward and anchor outcomes over time.
EXAMPLES OF FACILITATION
Facilitation accompanying newly formed or reconfigured governance bodies — such as steering committees, boards, or works councils — to establish clear communication, roles, decision-making processes, and ways of working early on.
Facilitation supporting steering committees, working groups, and secretariats in structuring governance, collaboration, and shared rules across diverse stakeholder groups, while accompanying the initiative over key decision phases.
Facilitation accompanying teams working across functions or product areas on shared initiatives, such as introducing new KPIs, aligning around CRM or system enhancements, or coordinating strategic priorities across departments.
acilitation accompanying projects at selected moments — from kick-off to alignment and review phases — providing continuity, clarity, and constructive dialogue without continuous presence.
Facilitation supporting dialogue and cooperation across different generations, making diverse work styles, expectations, and experience levels visible and usable for effective collaboration.
