12 Reasons to Hire an Expert Facilitator

  1. You know you don't have the facilitation skill to lead an upcoming important meeting.

  2. You are investing thousands of dollars to host a very important meeting/retreat.

  3. Old ways are no longer effective—the group is frustrated—the same old ideas keep surfacing.

  4. The group really needs to do some new thinking.

  5. Audacious goals have been set—you need help with idea generation to meet the goals.

  6. The group has met a number of times to resolve a tough challenge—there is no action plan or end in sight.

  7. The challenge is emotional, controversial, or represents a major change.

  8. The team is bogged down in a mountain of data and can’t get moving.

  9. Important decisions keep getting put off because no one wants to be responsible in case things don’t work out.

  10. A team off-site is planned and you want to have the group work on a current challenge during one portion of the meeting.

  11. A major change has just been announced and will require new thinking and lots of action.

  12. A business disaster just occurred.
