Because implementing good thinking is THE reason for meeting,
we take great steps to make sure we clearly understand
your goals for the outcome. CI International recognizes
the importance of marrying your vision, initiative and
capacity to visible results. We also understand the huge
investment in human capital when you take your leadership
or team out of the workflow for several days. Therefore,
we take the time to understand your challenges, culture
and systems. We blend that depth of understanding with
our unique skills, tools and experiences to create an
outcome that exceeds your expectations. What you accomplish
will be right on target with your stated goals and ROI
in time and money.
Having it your way
To make sure that clients get what they want from their
meeting or conference we follow a six-step process.
- Client Conference - We listen to
your intentions and desires. We help you clearly define
your goals for success, both in the meeting and beyond.
- Facilitation Proposal – We submit
a proposal that describes how we can help you achieve
your goals, including a description of the broad process
steps and all of the deliverables. We recognize
that the meeting is a dynamic process and that new
insights and ideas can emerge that could significantly
shift original intentions. Our proposal allows for
alternatives and different methods for emerging needs.
- Proposal Acceptance – Following acceptance,
pre-work is done that often includes talking to each
of the meeting attendees.
- On-going “Course Adjustments”
– Consultative facilitation requires that we
work in close partnership with you during the meeting
to make sure that we are making the best possible
use of your time and that we are correctly observing
the interests and twists of the meeting.
- Follow-up Deliverables - Immediately after
the session is over, a complete report describing
everything that went on in the meeting is prepared.
All action items agreed to by the participants
are documented as part of this report.
- Implementation - As the meeting service
is an extension of the workplace, we can help facilitate
the execution of the action items through counsel
and support to meeting participants.
