			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My company  is a Portland, Oregon based consulting firm specializing in the use of  facilitation as a way to improve your performance.  My services are based on the simple premise that there are times when there is more at stake than running a good meeting.   Facilitation is not a task like &#8220;running a meeting&#8221; or &#8220;coming to a consensus decision.&#8221;  Facilitation is about removing the obstacles that keep your business or team from improving performance.  Organizing and managing effective meetings is important but facilitation is really about, empowerment, learning theory &amp; organizational design.<br />
.<br />
So if you are looking for more than a good meeting, welcome to Facilitation &amp; Process.    My blog is designed to encourage you to systematically think about and build your facilitation and process skills.  Feel free to contribute your thoughts because I believe we learn together as a community of practice.<br />
.<br />
Above, in the links on the menu bar, you will find information about what I bring to my consulting practice so that when your need exceeds your capacity,  you will have someone to call.  Whether you need help with strategic planning, organizing a fund raising plan, designing a process for complex project or committee, or training and coaching for your team on performance improvement, I look forward to working with you.   <em>&#8211; mark</em></p>
