Challenges & Opportunities

The biggest challenge with these types of workshops is engaging all the relevant stakeholders, ensuring they are all heard and at the same time, keeping the workshops moving along. At times, there may be ten to fifteen people all trying to get their view across, while somebody else with something important to say, may not be able to get any airtime.

Our Solution

Our workshop facilitators have a wide degree of experience across different sectors and industries. We make sure our facilitators have the appropriate industry knowledge and knowledge of the attendees to get the best out of the attendees. We are not subject matter experts. Our role, instead, is to focus on:

• Ensuring that all stakeholders have a chance to input and be heard.
• Drawing any key technical information and background information from subject matter experts.
• Achieving workshop objectives such as ensuring designs are safe to construct, operate and maintain.
• Achieving agreement on key workshop actions and direction.
