Most organizations require strategic facilitation at many points during their life cycle, but don’t realize it or fail to see the value.  Good facilitation (which is what we do) and strategic consultation will make your (business) life more efficient, more productive and more enjoyable. Whether is it developing an innovative near term strategic plan or a topic-specific discussion that needs facilitation, Lighthouse has the skills and experience. 

Okay, so lots of groups do this. What is our particular niche?

We aren’t cookie-cutter consultants. Each of our meetings is customized to your specific needs and audiences. Each one systematically guides conversation through a logical progression that yields deep conversation, stimulates new ideas and accurately captures the words and thoughts of workshop participants.

We believe that each meeting is an opportunity to teach and learn.  Our designs use innovative, adult-training techniques and participatory learning approaches.  Our events are not just workshops, but facilitated conversations designed specifically to clarify, focus and build consensus on difficult and confusing issues.

You can participate instead of facilitate. Let us run the meeting, keep track of time, maintain a record of key decisions so that you can participate, listen and lead. We can handle those difficult situations and participants effectively because we are a  neutral third party without any vested interest except for seeing the meeting end in success.

We know content. Although no topic is beyond our reach, our background and knowledge is firmly in the realm of integrated coastal management and the recreational boating industry.
