Whole Person Process Facilitation

Whole Person Process Facilitation (WPPF) creates meetings that tap into the creativity and collective genius of the participants in the meeting and creates a generative process that leads to exceptional results It has been used effectively across the world, across cultures, and with people from all levels of education. It works well with groups of 6 to 150 people and can be from 3 hours in length to several days and works equally well in person and online. 

WPPF accesses the greatest potential of the individual participants involved and of the group as a whole, thereby achieving maximum learning and results. WPPF achieves these outcomes by using a structure and exercises that engage the “whole brain” – the creative, intuitive, subjective “right brain,” as well as the analytic, logical, objective “left brain;” and engages the “whole person.” By taking this into account, the design of the meeting becomes a generative process that leads to deep learning, enhanced connection, and understanding among participants. 

We believe that expertise exists among the participants to determine answers to the questions posed and the work to be accomplished. Therefore, the design of the meeting is intended to support creativity, meaningful dialogue, consensus building, action planning, and fun! 

WPPF meetings have a proven track record for success in: 

•  Strategic planning, including implementation plans. 

• Visioning, including identification of key strategic directions. 

• Policy development and implementation strategies, including procedural protocols. 

• Development of business ethics, including implementation plans.
