Partner with Us and Sponsor a Critical Conversation

 

Does your community need to come together to find common ground? Do you have a real need to have a meeting of the minds, where everyone can participate equally and all voices count?

We have the means to hold these conversations. Whether you want to:

• Conduct a Future Search Conference for regional planning,
• Prioritize capital expenditures while keeping taxes down,
• Brainstorm new ways to raise revenue for your township
• Hold an electronic town hall 
• Plan a series of focus groups to research planning options

We can facilitate all of the above and much more. We are looking for companies and organizations that want to sponsor an experience in participative democracy. Our soon to be launched Website: Citizens Summit.com will blog about our experiences.

We want to change the tone of our large conversations and put people to work discussing the things that matter to them locally. We are not interested in furthering personal agendas, and we are not willing to help those who seek to divide us. We desire to bring about more light with less heat.

We will design the experiences with you and the meeting owners to create the means for maximum diversity and inclusion, and follow-up. Our tools are state of the art, and our process has been time tested for over 20 years in large and medium size businesses. Now we want to offer our unique set of skills and tools for the greater good.

Sponsoring is easy. We have several funding options for you. It will be similar to funding a golf tournament. You will choose your level of sponsorship. You will be helping your community to come to common ground, explore options, and make better decisions with more community involvement.

If this sounds interesting to you, please contact using the form below. If you’d like to volunteer to be a table facilitator at one of our meetings please contact us. In the future will also be training facilitators how to conduct their own participative processes in the future.

Got Roses?

The Pottstown Mercury gave "Roses" to the Owen J Roberts School District Town Hall process that we facilitated last week. We learned so much from doing it. We will be posting our tear down of the meeting shortly. We are still clarifying what we would do differently.

Feedback is an acquired taste.

We started in the Auditorium where a panel presented the main concepts, We designed a clicker execise to determine who was attending. We then moved the entire group to a large room of tables where everyone could sit at round tables and enter their comments of the presentations into "The Hive."

The Theme Team worked dilligently pulling out what was core, common, and consistent and reported out their findings to the large group. Excellent Process. Felt good to do it pro-bono! Remember: Good work always follows Good Work! The following mention appeared in the Pottstown Mercury.
