Let us introduce a few of our very experienced Workshop Facilitators

Here are just 3 of our workshop facilitators ( our total team is much larger)

During the last 25 years, Allan has facilitated workshops
with leaders and managers in a range of businesses and functions across the world.

functional organisations such as HR, Supply Chain and Marketing.

Allan designed and facilitated a knowledge cafe based conference of 120 managers in Toronto. The client was the internal function responsible for the development of intellectual property within a global consultancy. The objective was to the select five major projects which would be funded and delivered over the upcoming year. The result of the two and a half day event was that the five were selected, fleshed out at a high level and project teams were formed from the conference membership.

Allan also designed and ran a meeting of 60 people, comprising the management teams of two organisations about to be merged. The objective was to design the new organisation which included the functions, purposes and organisation structure. This was achieved in two days by people who knew that they might not have a job at the same level in the new organisation.
