Why is facilitation needed?
Working/managing in an environment of constant change brings with it tensions that even the most positive manager can struggle with. Teams can become difficult to work with, conflict can emerge, staff become disillusioned and disgruntled, particularly if they are not clear about the future direction of the business.
The need to motivate teams and provide the support needed to lead change within an organisation can be daunting. As a leader you need to have confidence and self belief in the change that is being implemented.
Introducing an independent facilitator to; lead team/group meetings, initiate discussion around proposed strategies, generate ownership and 'buy in' to new initiatives can be time saving, cost effective, motivating, and maximize on the productivity of the event.

What our customers say about our facilitation services
London Borough of Sutton commissioned New Possibilities to help develop an in-house Person Centred Planning training programme intended to develop the skills of experienced facilitators and promote person centred approaches throughout learning disability services. This has proven invaluable. The confidence of facilitators has grown and front line staff have since been able to help lead the drive for person centred approaches in our area. We have now run a number of in house courses which have always received good evaluation; this has been in large part due to the time and expertise that New Possibilities contributed.
