Process Consulting is a powerful tool which is used to enhance group effectiveness, <br />shorten meeting times, and address conflict. It helps teams to work together more <br />effectively, and its effects can last long after the consultant has departed. The benefits of <br />process consulting are usually: shorter meetings, more productive meetings, better <br />decisions, increased feelings of participation or potency, greater satisfaction with the <br />team or meetings. Process consulting is carefully intervening in a group or team to help <br />It to accomplish its goals. The consultant does not try to help the team as an expert, <br />instead, the consultant helps the team to help itself. Process consulting also requires a <br />client who is aware of their problems, and who is willing to listen and change some <br />habits if needed. In some ways, process consulting is as difficult for the client as it is for <br />the consultant, because they must put aside any natural defensiveness and temporarily <br />yield their authority in some ways. However, the rewards far outweigh the efforts and <br />risks. <br />How We Facilitate <br />A fundamental assumption is that everyone has a contribution to make and that sharing <br />the experience and knowledge of all participants is a valuable part of the planning <br />session.
