A decade of collaboration
Grape People started collaborating with Pöyry Management Consulting in 2014, named AFRY Management Consulting since 2020. AFRY Analysts, Consultants, and Managers in Energy, Bioindustry and Sustainability from around the globe use facilitation skills to manage successful internal and client workshops.
To date, more than 400 AFRY consultants have participated in facilitation training with consistently high ratings. Example feedback from trainings:
“Good pacing, enough breaks, I was able to stay focused for the whole duration of training.”
“Probably the best training I've had so far.”
“Keep up the excellent work! :)”
Facilitation skills give a competitive edge
Consultants, Senior Consultants, and Managers lead workshops, face to face and virtually. They also manage projects, lead project teams and initiate interaction with clients.
Facilitator competencies include skills such as:
- Creating psychological safety in a meeting
- Creating an equal and inclusive platform for discussion
- Removing barriers to participation
- Setting a clear meeting goal; and helping the group reach it in the given time frame
- Building shared understanding and commitment to shared goals
Consultants in the modern age must also be able to implement their skills in the virtual setting, which places new challenges on facilitators.
Facilitation skills are central to developing as a consultant. When a consultant wants to advance into more senior positions, facilitation skills help to foster trust and collaboration.
“Grape People are facilitation experts who are highly skilled at getting learnings across, whether face to face or virtually.”
