An effective participatory process embraces reality: its positives and challenges, moments of tension alongside harmony. Masters in Moderation elevates participatory meetings and processes to a new level, offering expert moderation, innovative meeting design, and comprehensive training.
Gone are the days when governments could unilaterally implement plans, management dictated terms from above, and stakeholders passively agreed. Today, we participate, collaborate, and co-create to enhance our world, our communities, and our workplaces.
Participatory meetings can range from smooth and harmonious to challenging, with clashes in opinion and interests. Success in such meetings is significantly higher when they are well-designed and expertly facilitated – a forte of our moderators.
Conducting a participatory meeting requires special skills from the moderator
The moderator:
Navigates diverse interests and sensitivities.
Adapts methodologies throughout the process.
Fosters a safe environment for all participants.
Encourages contributions from quieter members.
Maintains focus on objectives while respecting all participants and permitting constructive deviations.
Our team
