Board Meeting Facilitation

Has your Board ever considered an outside facilitator for your next Board retreat or meeting? InnerWork senior facilitators are expert at designing and facilitating Board retreats and meetings that can bring multiple stakeholders and perspectives together for a variety of purposes.

Since 1990, InnerWork has designed and facilitated Board retreats and meetings that have helped Boards to:

• Build higher levels of teamwork, communication, collaboration, and trust; as well as integrate new Board team members into existing Board teams.
• Generate insight and guidance into an organization’s strategic and operational plans using an array of interactive facilitation methods.
• Provide input into defining & refining an organization’s vision, strategies and key growth initiatives.
• Launch sub-committees and task forces to ensure implementation of Board priorities and directives.
• Resolve and mediate challenging conflict on Board teams, and move the team members to new levels of alignment and unity.

InnerWork senior facilitators follow a three – four step approach to create an interactive and effective Board Retreat or meeting for your board.

• It begins with an initial Needs Assessment; then a customized design is created to meet your needs; and then the retreat is facilitated.
• Often, we support organizations in a variety of follow-up steps to ensure the decisions and plans developed at the board meeting are quickly implemented by the organization’s staff; or in the association’s leadership & membership.

• If your Board retreat would benefit from interactive team building to energize the agenda, and get Board team members engaged for deeper collaboration, our senior facilitators can conduct highly effective team exercises that are fun, brief, professional and cost effective.
