Problem Solving & Facilitation

“How do we improve productivity?”
“How do we expand into new territories?”
“How do we motivate our workforce?”
“What is our strongest differentiation and position in the market?”

Most brainstorming sessions are generally structured to jump to a solution right away. This is fine… if all the parameters, issues and implications surrounding the challenges you’re facing are known and you already have consensus.

But when all of the parameters, issues and implications are not known, however, (and they rarely are), or consensus is not reached, (and it rarely is), that approach typically results in “good solution… wrong problem.” If you’ve already had a series of false starts on a project, or you just can get any momentum on a new initiative, you know what we mean.

Essential Message exercises challenge the underlying assumptions and drive directly to the core issues, challenges and implications. And because everyone on your team is part of developing the solution from the beginning, you can be sure everyone will be on the same page at the end…

The result is an immediate ability to move past the issues that have been stopping you from moving forward, and quicker implementation of the solution with buy-in from everyone on the team.

Facilitation sessions are highly customized based on the problem you want to solve. Contact us to discuss how you can apply the Essential Message approach to get you moving forward faster, in the right direction.
