We Facilitate Complex Projects and Events:

Our involvement can be integrated into a series of different events, or we can lead the entire project process. Our interventions follow a distinctive approach that is always focused on solutions.

The first step is a meeting to clarify the purpose of the collaboration and the outcomes you want to achieve. More complex projects may require several individual and group meetings and discussions.

We then design a clear and simple process to support you in:

  • Developing the clearest possible picture of what success looks like for you
  • Identifying and building on what is already working and on the resources available to you
  • Defining the next steps that will move you in your chosen direction.

Strategic Sessions – Team Meetings – Team Events

ÎMeetings are at the heart of effective business coordination. They may be designed to strengthen teams within a corporation, develop strategies at leadership level, coordinate specific projects, or support practical collaboration between departments. Important decisions are made in meetings, information is shared, teams develop, and progress is created.

We know that no meeting is perfect. However, we strongly believe meetings can be designed to move things forward in a clear, effective way, with greater ease and enjoyment.

From our experience, people who take part in the meetings we facilitate leave feeling more positive, motivated, and open to collaboration. Many of them say afterwards, “This was the best possible way I could have imagined spending my time.”

CASE STUDIES

We invite you to explore the case studies developed from the projects we have been involved in. Should you choose to work with us, you will discover the effectiveness of the Solution Focus approach and the distinctive way in which we apply it at Solutionsurfers.

We were invited to facilitate a one-day board meeting for a multinational insurance company, with the aim of helping board members strengthen collaboration and develop a better understanding of one another. Their desired outcomes were more effective meetings and improved planning around strategic objectives.

The facilitation process included individual interviews with each board member to explore what they valued and what they believed was already working well within the organisation and in their collaboration. We then presented the group with a summary of these conversations, helping them focus their attention on existing strengths and successes. This was followed by a series of facilitated interventions designed to support constructive dialogue, alignment, and agreement on the next steps required to move in their chosen direction.

The one-day facilitation was highly successful, and we were subsequently invited to implement the same approach at the next level of leadership.

We are confident that we can also support you in taking meaningful steps towards the goals you want to achieve.

For this project, we facilitated part of a two-day meeting for regional CFOs, helping them identify new ways to increase their impact within the organisation and strengthen the way they worked together as business partners.

We delivered a four-hour workshop for finance leaders from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Following its success, we were invited to deliver the same workshop within the organisation for teams in Asia-Pacific and the Americas.

We facilitated a full-day session for all members of a department within an international bank, focused on developing their annual strategy. The facilitation created strong alignment across the team, clarified key priorities, and resulted in a clear, actionable direction for the year ahead.

For this project, we worked with the leadership team and head office staff to help them clarify the direction they wanted to take the business. The process created greater alignment, strengthened shared understanding, and supported the team in defining clear priorities for the next stage of development.

An Innovative Coaching Project with Outstanding Results

We were selected to deliver this coaching workshop because of our extensive experience, strong expertise in management consulting, training, and individual and team coaching, as well as our practical, solution-focused approach.

Team Coaching? No, Thank You!

When we want to improve a situation, we can talk about the problem – what is not wanted – or we can explore how we would like things to look in the future – what is wanted. We can move towards a solution much more quickly when we first recognise and appreciate what is already working well.
