Workshops and facilitation

A workshop is a great way to bring people together to plan, solve problems, manage issues and forge collaborative partnerships.  Not only does a Mara workshop help build understanding, it will help cut through long standing challenges, enabling innovation and enable action.

Our team plan and facilitate workshops for large or small groups.  We can design a process for just about any group or issue. Bringing diverse communities and stakeholders together is our specialty, resulting in respectful, fun and productive workshops that have clear and well documented outcomes.

From planning to running your event, we’ll make sure that your objectives are met and we support your broader project or organisational needs.

Stakeholder workshops

If you are trying to engage with stakeholders with an interest in your project or organisation, a stakeholder workshop could be for you. Whether trying to engage with internal or external stakeholders, Mara's team design workshops that help meet your objectives.

Workshops can be used to align priorities, encourage creativity and decision making and to generate key outputs.

We use a range of visual tools and activities to capture feedback and outcomes.

 

 

Stakeholders participating at a workshop

In 2016 Mara Consulting helped with the rebuilding of the Newcastle Knights by developing the Club’s Stakeholder Engagement Strategy.  This strategy identified key stakeholders and was used to underpin existing, grow future partnerships and encourage grassroots community engagement."
