Need an experienced facilitator for your workshops, programmes and conversations?
Culture Academy, Singapore
Why have a Facilitator?
An effective facilitator will design a bespoke process to connect people and illuminate issues, getting you better results.
You might need an impartial, external facilitator if you need to

Consult A Diverse Group
Engage a diverse group of stakeholders from within and beyond your organisation, have them connect with one another, and skillfully manage any conflict that might arise. You want people committed to action plans, issues resolved, initiatives carried through.

Strengthen Co-operation Across Business Units
Refresh your organisation’s mission, vision and values. Not a top-down paper exercise, but a compelling process to win everyone’s hearts and minds, paving the way for stronger co-operation across business units.

Get Better Results from Your Training
Help your employees connect the dots, and appreciate the bigger picture. You want them to come out of a leadership development programme more self-aware, confident and aligned with your corporate direction; better equipped to lead their teams and deliver you stronger results.

Craft a Multi-year Strategy
Craft a coherent 3-year rolling strategy plan. You have a long to-do list, but you want to re-look your strategy by deep-diving into some important issues and prioritising what needs to be done.
What’s Involved?
Your needs are our priority. Our 5-phase approach ensures you get the results you want.
Culture Academy, Singapore
We will help you to understand the “whys”
What are your objectives? What do you want to achieve out of the programme or workshop? And or perhaps more importantly, what do you NOT want to see? Are there trade-offs that you are prepared to make? Were there past facilitators or workshops that did not work for you?
Culture Academy, Singapore
We will put together a draft facilitation plan
The proposal starts with a description of your workshop or programme objectives. It describes the resources you will need, the process – pre-work included – and deliverables. You will get a quotation on our fees.
Salzburg Global Seminar, Austria
Once you accept the facilitation proposal
we will start our pre-work. This may include interviews with your sponsors and key stakeholders, surveying your workshop participants, reviewing and preparing background materials for your participants. We will work with your team on the administrative, logistical and technical support.
Civil Service College, Singapore
We will work closely with you to adjust the approach
as events unfold and as participants interact with one another. Ultimately, we want you to have the best chance at achieving our agreed outcomes. We might even need to make some adjustments to the agreed outcomes!
Civil Service College, Singapore
The work done and documents produced
at the workshop will form the basis for your follow-up. We will discuss with your support team on the follow-up. We might need to have follow-up meetings.
