The PDI Difference

  • Practical
  • Dynamic
  • Interactive

 

Our Philosophy

How Are We Different?

We set a higher standard for facilitation! The graphic below illustrates the difference between the Core Team from Leadership Strategies and traditional facilitators. In summary, we are:

  • Much more dynamic,
  • More results-focused,
  • More flexible with the process, and
  • More involved in creating solutions that work for you.

Facilitator Comparison

The result? You will have a unified team that is energetically committed to action, a process that comprehensively addresses the business need at hand and clear direction on how to implement deliverables and achieve results.

  • Creating Solutions - Rather than refraining from making suggestions we use specific techniques to offer participants unexplored solutions.
  • Ensuring Process Effectiveness - Rather than dictating the process, we solicit group involvement to ensure all critical issues are addressed.
  • Focusing on Results - Rather than viewing the facilitated session interaction as the "end-all", we maintain a strict focus on the organizational objective and the buy-in required to achieve it.
  • Building Active Engagement - Rather than simply allowing the group to self-direct by assuming a "referee" type role, we fuel productive interaction by actively engaging participants, challenging assumptions, identifying conflicting views and building consensus.

Our Facilitation Expertise

When choosing a facilitator, make sure the facilitator knows what a Leadership Strategies facilitator knows.

(These techniques and more are taught in The Effective Facilitator - our flagship facilitation training class.)
