Facilitating & Leading Change

Simply Change has facilitated many business workshops for Innovate UK, helping us to build rooms of individuals into connected communities with a common purpose, or to draw them out to share and articulate questions and concerns that are important to them. They’re creative in planning these events, and warm and articulate in running them, drawing upon their magic suitcase of marker pens, post-it notes and huge sheets of sticky paper to great effect.

As a business that delivers hundreds of facilitated events per year, we are keen to keep up with best current approaches and Rob, Bruce and Rosanne helped by personalising a facilitation course to meet our needs. The course was very well received with its engaging style and practical tips and we continue to embed the learning into our events.

Rob is, without question, the best group facilitator with whom I have had the pleasure of working.

As the centre of excellence for Project Management and BPR in the authority we felt that we would benefit from a refresher on current tools and techniques for facilitation. Rob and Bruce came in and designed a one day session for us to focus on planning and delivering a facilitated event. The day was a great success both as a team building event and a learning opportunity and we were able to bring the new tools into workshops straight away. The expertise and approach that Simply Change brought to the session made the day and I look forward to working with them again.

Thanks to Simply Change’s Facilitation Skills Training we are buzzing with inspiration. Training can be fun!

Steve was instrumental in supporting a £54 million Global IT Transformation Programme, from his ability to see the bigger picture and streamline the corporate challenges to his finite detail of best practice in knowledge management. Steve, and Simply Change, were an enabling force that delivered end benefits that exceeded business case expectations (€40 million annual savings at the last count).

I have personally worked with Rob and the team at Simply Change for 2 years, starting in 2013. My experience though the various projects was very positive and always delivered a professional and considered result.

The facilitation skills training we had with Simply Change has really changed the way we facilitate workshops with our clients at Worth! Our workshops are better prepared and structured, we are getting more done in less time!
