Great facilitation

Many of the reasons why people resist innovative ideas and creative thinking are to do with them as individuals. We all have a particular perspective and experience, regardless of our roles, which informs our response to new ideas.

Individuals can also find it difficult to expose their thinking, particularly under the critical eyes of their peer group. In fact one of the dangers of working in groups is the development of “group think” where individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness.

Facilitation can help overcome both these personal barriers and those of group think. During Ignite events you can expect our facilitation to deliver:
