Talk about Results

Conversations with Forums Institute turn unproductive meetings into results-driven collaborations with a hallmark of civil discourse. Conversations are also an effective alternative to focus groups, panel discussions and customer surveys. When results count, Conversations make the difference, creating consensus out of multiple issues and points of view, opening communication and bringing about new solutions. Conversations are...

• Problem-solving, strategic planning, visioning or team-building meetings that use proven methods to help participants communicate more effectively.
• Valuable for a wide range of participants including customers, clients, employees, stockholders, boards of directors, local government officials and communities.
• Highly effective for multi-stakeholder meetings regarding shared services, healthy communities and livable communities.
• Guided by a neutral, Certified Professional Facilitator focused on the process of the meeting, providing a safe environment and allowing participants to focus on the content. (See Benefits of a Professional Facilitator.)
• Conducted using our proprietary Ground Rules that encourage open discussion - not adversarial positions.
• An opportunity to create collaborations leading to increased performance and productivity.

To learn how facilitator-led Conversations differ from a typical meeting or focus group, see the Chart of Differences.
