PIE-YIEP Mid-Year Review Gather-up

Planning and event work covers facilitated sessions where a team needs to reach a decision together: annual planning, strategy retreats, review meetings and partner convenings.

CGS handles both facilitation and the logistics around it, so that the organisation's own staff can take part rather than run the room.

What it includes

Agenda design against a defined objective
Facilitation and session materials
Venue, logistics and participant coordination
Documentation of decisions and next steps
Post-event summary and follow-up actions

Our approach

Sessions are designed backwards from what has to be decided or produced by the end. An agenda without a defined output tends to produce a discussion and little else.

Decisions and their owners are recorded during the session rather than reconstructed afterwards.
