EW Group provide senior team facilitation services, group coaching and action learning sets in a range of settings. Our facilitation work is often to meet a specific leadership need, to support strategic planning, or to build team cohesion.
Our face-to-face facilitated sessions for leaders and managers focus on leveraging difference for innovation, growth and excellence. We’ll also equip your leaders to manage unconscious bias in decision making, strategy design and people management.
We offer the facilitation skills, expertise and authority you need to get the most out of your next Board and other high-level development events. Our facilitation activities with senior teams – on all aspects of organisational culture – can be anything from one hour to a full day. The choice is yours.
EW Group consultants have recently provided the following tailor-made facilitation services:
Our experience over two decades shows us that the most effective facilitation activities are tailor-made to reflect the culture and values of the organisation we’re working with. We’ll start with a period of familiarisation to understand the context you’re operating in, including your key messages and current challenges. This might include preparatory reading of relevant documents, value statements, strategies and frameworks, supported by 1:1 telephone conversations with key figures as required.
Our delivery style will reflect our own company values:
