Process Consultation

The primary goal of a Process Consultation Workshop is to provide the members of a group with a better understanding of how their behavior - individually and as a group - affects the performance of others’ and/or of the group as a whole.

How Process Consultation Works

Process Consultation is typically implemented in "real time". The consultant’s task is to observe the group "in-action", with a focus on specific processes or dynamics.

After a period of time the consultant shares his/her observations with group members and, thereafter, works together with group members to explore ways of improving individual and group effectiveness in the areas observed.

A Processes Consultation can focus on any normal organization, including but not limited to:
  • Decision-making
  • Leadership/influence
  • Conflict management
  • Goal setting and planning
  • Problem-solving
  • Group member roles
  • Meeting management techniques
  • Participation levels
