How Can Your Group Can Benefit From Using Jewell Round Table?
Professional Facilitation
Having a professional facilitator working with your group improves focus and time management. A facilitator can assist in bringing out more ideas and push the group to greater results. Our facilitators are skilled and trained facilitators who have experience in working with a variety of groups. In many situations, its the facilitator that helps provide the real success to any meeting.
Increased Productivity
Empirical studies have shown that electronic brainstorming generates more ideas. To do this, we use a combination of parallel idea generation, open group discussions and the use of tools to organize ideas which lead to making immediate decisions.
Parallel Processing of Ideas
In normal meetings, people either interrupt each other, because ideas are coming so quickly, or they patiently wait until they have the opportunity to speak. Jewell Round Table enables comments to come all at once without interruption and allows each participant to build on another's idea. Everyone's voice is heard and each idea is considered on its own merit.
Anonymous Participation
Since participants enter their ideas anonymously there are fewer hierarchical barriers and every participant has an equal voice. The result is a free and spontaneous exchange.
Flexible Approaches With Group Process
Sometimes the best tool may be a marker and flip chart, not networked computers. Or, small discussion groups may be the most effective solution. Our skilled facilitators make use of the most effective tools and group process strategies to help participants meet their objectives.
Efficient Use of Time and Resources
Talk is just talk. However, talk combined with facilitated, focused conversation produces results. Jewell Round Table can assist in brainstorming, assessment, analysis, planning, prioritizing and voting in a fraction of the time that normal meetings take. In addition, complete documentation is available so that every idea, result and decision is available for later review.
Assured Confidentiality
All sessions and surveys are the property of the session or survey owner. William Jewell College's Round Table Services will not release any information about the participants or content of the sessions or surveys.
Think of what you could accomplish if your meetings were run more efficiently and buy-in was stronger because all participants were engaged in a free and open discussion!
