About

Facilitation & Process, LLC is a consulting firm based in Portland, Oregon.  The goals of my firm are quite simple.  Productive meetings. Smart strategies. Lasting impact. In these challenging economic times, my value proposition is to use facilitation, coaching, process design, technology support, and training as means to help you achieve your ends.

Facilitation & Process, LLC specializes in working with nonprofit agencies, philanthropic organizations, and government entities of the social-citizen sector”  As symbolized in the three intersecting lines of my firms logo, I believe that there in a critical need for the social-citizen sector to think about their programs as a system with clear points of connection.  My firm works in the space where the compelling needs of  nonprofits, philanthropic organizations and government agencies meet.

Facilitation & Process, LLC  also believes that change is the new normal for the social-citizen sector and that the old tired solutions are no longer strategic and forward-thinking. Those contacting me over the last year have often expressed frustration that they have been to “the local workshops,” attended the right “networks” and have tried cookie cutter templates and yet their organizations are stagnant with their resources and impact continuing to erode. The clear and consistent message is that those organizations seeking to make a difference are ready for the fresh, imaginative and objective. There is a need for  Strategic Facilitation. Strategic Process. Together.

Facilitation & Process, LLC  began working with clients in December 2009 but its capacity was developed over my 18 year career that wove its way between the nonprofit and government sector with a management level interface with funding agencies and philanthropic organizations.  Additional information about me can be found on my Professional Biography.  Since opening its doors Facilitation & Process, LLC  as worked with a growing number of nonprofit agencies, philanthropic organizations, and government entities.  Facilitation and Process, LLC is  licensed in Portland and is an Oregon-based corporation, as well as certified in Oregon as an Emerging Small Business (ESB certification number 6632).

Facilitation and Process is a networked company with established relationships with a range of independent consultants and firms with specialized content expertise.  In my network are individuals and groups with expertise in legal, accounting, human resource, technology, evaluation, graphic design, writing and editing, facilitation and mediation.  This array of relationships allows Facilitation and Process to put together a customized and tailored team of professionals to meet your unique needs.
