Our team facilitation approach – maximising the benefits for your senior leadership team

The most effective facilitation activities are tailor-made to reflect the culture and values of the organisation we’re working with.

This is why we will familiarise ourselves with the context you’re operating in, including your key messages and current challenges. This might include a preparatory reading of relevant documents and one-to-one telephone conversations with key figures as required.

Informed by our research and needs analysis, we will then design an interactive session for your delegates. We are experts in inclusive leadership, and as such, equality, diversity and inclusion principles will be embedded throughout the design process.

What our clients say

EW Group worked with the GLA as a partner to deliver masterclasses to senior leaders on recognising and overcoming bias.  This was a high profile audience and the design of the programmes was key.  I valued the partnership approach that EW Group colleagues took to the design phase and how they listened carefully to the feedback and context.

Senior Team Facilitation FAQs

How do senior management and leadership teams benefit from facilitation services?

Leadership facilitation services help your business thrive. There are many types of facilitation sessions, but all of them are structured around certain organisational goals. For example, your company may lack team cohesion, or require help with strategic planning. A facilitation event will focus on reaching that target.

What’s more, these sessions achieve their objectives while also equipping your senior teams to maximise diversity and equality within the business, utilising these to accomplish overall excellence.

How long is a senior team facilitation programme?

All of EW Group’s senior team facilitation sessions are tailor-made for your organisational needs. This includes their duration. Our facilitation events can last one hour or a whole day — it depends on your objectives, timeframe, and specific circumstances.
