Facilitation & Network Management
From learning and strategy retreats to data interpretation and sensemaking workshops and beyond, we can help you instill a culture of learning within and between your peer organizations.
Long-Term Value
Facilitating teams and organizations through sensemaking, strategy, and coalition creation processes requires a shared commitment to high-quality and participatory processes. High-quality facilitation can be the difference between a poorly organized group with a powerful mission and a highly aligned cohesive group on the path to success.
When groups are facilitated effectively, the process itself is clarifying, energizing, and inspiring. Even more, the tone and exercises used in facilitation workshops and experiences often have visible ripple effects across your organization: people will speak and work differently together as a result of the experience.
We use best-in-class facilitation practices that will leave you feeling heard, clear, and full of energy. We consider facilitated events to be experiences where we are the host and you are the guest entering a curated container designed specifically to spark creativity, dialogue and propel progress.

Sub-Services
The facilitation & network management category of our offerings encompasses a wide range of related services.
-
Have you gathered a lot of data in various reports, slide decks, and spreadsheets but need help actually helping your teams interpret it and learn from it? Our custom data interpretation workshops will turn your data into extremely accessible formats that leave your team feeling engaged, confident, and ready to take action on what the data illuminated.
-
Collective sensemaking is a cornerstone practice for learning-oriented philanthropies. Because there is not one single story from evaluations, studies, or data. Sensemaking is an opportunity to highlight your collective “so what” story from the data. Sensemaking workshops significantly amplify the value your organization derives from your evaluation and research efforts.
-
Is your team undertaking various learning activities as part of a broader learning agenda and you want an opportunity to bring it all together in a retreat setting? Learning retreats are custom designed to help you and your team bring your learning to life through creative learning experience design techniques.
-
Is it time for a strategy refresh and you want your team to come together to achieve a renewed sense of purpose and alignment? We design strategy retreats that always include an accompaniment period after the retreat to ensure that what we design together translates into practice.
-
There are many ways that philanthropies partner with other stakeholders to elevate their collective impact through joint strategic learning. Whether it's through establishing learning networks, peer learning circles or communities of practice, work with us to use best in class facilitation, network management and learning techniques to help your group achieve tangible results, together.
