The Perspectives Group has a long history of managing successful advisory
groups. We understand what makes groups successful. Moreover, we understand
that successful facilitation of an advisory board entails much more than running
a good meeting. It requires careful planning and detailed
follow-up.
Before an Advisory Board Meets
We help clients set appropriate goals for their advisory groups and to convene
the right stakeholders to meet those goals. We also listen to stakeholders to
determine key issues and major questions. Our goal is to provide an intriguing
and goal-focused agenda for each meeting. The Perspectives Group also handles
logistics and planning for advisory group meetings, so our clients can focus
fully on the issues at hand.
Advisory Board Meetings
The Perspectives Group creates an effective and practical meeting environment.
We provide opportunities for group learning, where members can develop a shared
understanding of the issues. We also understand that a good meeting is more
than a collection of individuals speaking their minds; it allows ideas to be
kicked around and synergy to blossom. The Perspectives Group fills its meeting
agendas with innovative techniques and plenty of time for dialogue. We lead
the advisory board through a systematic process of seeking consensus and achieving
outcomes that meet the goals of stakeholders and our clients.
After a Meeting
The Perspectives Group documents the key discussions and decisions made at meetings
and provides all participants with a summary of what was accomplished. Most
importantly, we help productivity by documenting follow-up tasks. Between meetings,
we manage communication among members and the client, so there are no surprises
when they meet next.
