Need a good green facilitator for team project sessions or group meetings?

colab group1 Home

Collaborative design through group facilitation is the way to bring your great ideas into the world!

. Ahhhhh, the rush and excitement of creating something new. Sometimes however, that excitement can dwindle as you attempt to use various means of group facilitation to bring that idea into reality. Once your team begins to lose that energy and momentum it can lead to mediocre results or worse; a broken dream that never comes to fruition.

Enter a better way to ‘fuel discovery’ in your company!

We will guide your team through a fun, inspiring, get-’er-done, guided, collaborative process that leads to satisfying results. We know exactly how to unleash your great ideas and direct your team down the path of enduring innovation. We are exactly what you need to fuel your group’s discovery process!

Who is it for?

Well, we like to think our group facilitation services is for everyone … Ok, ok, so you need more of a reason. How about; Anyone in need of group facilitation that is looking for a departure from the same old, hum-drum, “this is the way it’s always been done”, static, isolated, not at all fun, and slow way of so called innovation. In corporate woo woo terms: We improve design collaboration and strategic outcomes for complex team processes. Still need more?

If Your Can’t See the Forest Because Your Nose is too Pressed Up onto One of the Trees …”

Isn’t that how the saying goes? Well, m-m-m-maybe not. But, sometimes we get so immersed, attached, and involved in the details of a problem to look at it objectively, and finding an appropriate solution can be tedious or wearisome. What’s needed is a fresh vantage point, and a skilled facilitator or guide to show you the way out of the woods. As group facilitators, we know how to access and leverage individual talent and knowledge so that true innovation can take place.

If You’re Tired of Labels

Humans have a tendency to segregate, place everything in a box and label them. True, this type of assessment and judgment is necessary in order to help us make sense of the world, but at the same time it can limit our view and blind us to the solutions we seek. Discovery Fuel group facilitation will help you realize that nothing in your organization is truly isolated. It’s a concept we refer to as ”

“. By working with the system as it truly is (interdependent and interconnected) creates a meaningful, stimulating, and fun co-design process. It’s a much more interesting and fascinating way of group facilitation, problem solving, and innovating.

When It’s Gotta Be Meaningful, Loaded with Purpose, and Overflowing with Good Intentions

To be truly innovative, the problem solving or discovery process as well as the end result must have meaning for both the unique individuals involved as well as the group as a whole. We’ve found that creating meaningful innovation is not a solo endeavor. It can only come through group participation and collaborative interactive design. Does that work for you? If so, contact us, for a free, no-charge assessment. We promise to be informative and not pushy.

How does it work?

Discovery Fuel uses a device of our own creation called a Colab.TM A Colab is a unique group facilitation technique that creates a highly productive atmosphere where your participants feel valued and free to contribute their ideas. Our success dude Homefacilitators guide your team, classroom, or company to develop creative solutions to complex, technical, or organizational problems. All the while leveraging your existing group talent to maximize innovation throughout your entire company. We have a variety to choose from:

  • Collaborative Design Techniques
  • Meetings & Retreats Facilitation
  • Workshop Design Planning and Oversight
  • Team Work & Authentic Leadership
  • Company (or Group) Project Facilitation
  • Green or Sustainable Business Planning
  • Executive and Management Coaching
  • Sustainable Innovation Expertise
  • Values Assessments and Meaningful Work
  • Advanced Decision-making Processes

And more. Check out our full list of services under ‘What’s a Colab?‘.

Where does this group facilitation stuff get done?

Here, there, or anywhere … No really, we’re serious!

  • OFFSITE: Are you more inclined to get you and your team away from the usual environment to collaborate?
  • ONSITE: Or, do you require a facilitator to come to you?
  • ONLINE: Or, is your group spread out across the globe?
  • No matter! Discovery Fuel can accommodate. So contact us for free no-pressure chat/evaluation/consultation (or whatever you wanna call it :)

    Green and Sustainability are important to us … How ’bout you?

    Primarily, we work with organizations that want to make the shift toward sustainability or green business practices. We feel that, in our current world climate, the ability for an organization to adapt quickly and responsibly is no longer an option but is now a critical requirement for success. Now when we speak of “sustainability”, we aren’t simply talking about “green”. We are talking about sustainability in an all encompassing way with a eye toward the big picture; the Whole System - otherwise known as Sustainable Innovation. There’s other related phrases like ‘People, Planet, Profit’, etc. But we won’t bore you with all the details here. If you really want to know more, click the links above.

    So, what’s our bottom line?

    (actually, we use a ‘triple‘ bottom line) Effective group facilitation leads to better decision-making, happier people, faster innovation, and a “greener” more sustainable organization; resulting in more profits with a distinct advantage over your competition. Yah, yahhhh right. Well, the  proof is in the pudding. Try it!
