Retreats (work sessions) are times set aside for members of organizations to focus on the future. It is valuable time spent away from the daily grind in an environment where important decisions can be made without interruption. Time spent in these work sessions help obtain insight into where a business organization has been and where it’s going.
A facilitator will:
- Help the group decide on goals and objectives
- Help to develop a process for the retreat
- Assist in setting a realistic agenda
- Help establish clear roles for the participants
- Keep the group on track
- Openly and constructively discuss conflicts that may arise
- Assist with logistics
