This approach increases personal identification with the company and enables truly sustainable change. When people who work for an organization in different roles for a short or long period of time look to the future with their respective perspectives, share them with each other and develop a common vision based on them, enthusiasm can arise.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, it is difficult to generate this enthusiasm if employees are only informed about new measures and strategies from the top down. For this reason, we involve them in co-creative processes in all our projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e90ede1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6e90ede1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Coaching &amp; Facilitation<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6354571e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6354571e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our approach is therefore based on the methods of coaching and facilitation.<\/p><p>In coaching, a coach acts as a sparring partner. While coaches keep an eye on the process, coachees should think for themselves. Coaching usually takes place in smaller groups or even individually. Coaching is characterized by the fact that the participants in the coaching process decide where they want to develop. The coachee has sovereignty over the content of the coaching and the coach usually decides spontaneously which methods are suitable for this purpose.<\/p><p><a href=\"\/facilitator-program\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21045\" src=\"https:\/\/mermaidbroccoli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Facilitator-\u2013-Click-en-300x300.png\" alt=\"Click here to learn more about our Facilitator program in order to build your inhouse transformation consulting crew\" width=\"163\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mermaidbroccoli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Facilitator-\u2013-Click-en-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mermaidbroccoli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Facilitator-\u2013-Click-en-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mermaidbroccoli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Facilitator-\u2013-Click-en-768x769.png 768w, https:\/\/mermaidbroccoli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Facilitator-\u2013-Click-en.png 901w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" \/><\/a>Facilitation, on the other hand, usually refers to the process of structured discussion in larger groups. A facilitator specifies the process or method (e.g. design thinking, scenario analysis). In facilitation, too, the content comes primarily from the participants.<\/p><p>Both approaches result in a high level of identification of the participants with the content being developed. The discussions that arise in group processes or in individual work with a coach or facilitator usually trigger very profound thought processes. These thought processes are the building blocks on which real transformation can take place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bdd9a4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6bdd9a4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our approach to transformation consulting<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a44fa21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a44fa21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><br \/>As coaches and facilitators, we take the following stance:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Process focus<\/strong> &#8211; We design the processes in such a way that they enable our customers to receive answers to their burning questions within a given timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on co-creation &amp; collaboration<\/strong> &#8211; We always involve our customers and value collaboration and participation over hierarchy and top-down approaches \u2013 even though we acknowlegde the importance of including all hierarchies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Empathy &amp; humility<\/strong> &#8211; We put ourselves in our customers&#8217; shoes and appreciate their successes to date without just bringing in new stuff.
