Facilitation: Workshops & Webinars
Tirian’s facilitation approach ensures that outcomes of meetings are effectively achieved, and the individuals involved maintain both ownership of the process and the outcomes. With a professional Tirian facilitator, meetings can move much faster and with less stress. Constructive dialogue can replace debating, and individuals can be carefully guided through each stage of the process. Most importantly, our facilitators use a holistic approach that considers the human dynamics that are at play during a process.
Our facilitator will help the team understand how to find more efficient processes to improve effectiveness. This process will empower all people at all levels and encouraging them to contribute to the creative development process, ensuring that individuals will become inspired and equipped for positive transformation. In the process participants will discover that it is possible to go beyond incremental improvements and impact a whole culture. Teams will also become much more engaged and proficient when they are encouraged to work on these processes collaboratively.
Facilitators provide stimulus to encourage the group to discover the answers. Since reflection is the key to deeper learning that leads to more lasting change, anything that a “facilitator” does to enhance reflection before, during, or after an experience is called “facilitation.”
Hypotheticals: Real‑World Learning in Action
Our sessions are grounded in a blend of high-stakes, real-time strategic simulations and the classic case study method. Drawing on the experiential tradition popularized by formats like Hypotheticals and our own proprietary gamified simulations, we move beyond passive reading. We place leaders in the “hot seat” to navigate wicked problems and competing demands in real-time, ensuring that decisions are tested against the complexities of incomplete data and high-pressure environments. By requiring teams to make critical decisions under pressure, we expose the gap between what a leader thinks they would do and how they actually perform when stakes are real.
Our Methodology:
Real-Time Stress Testing: Unlike passive reviews, our simulations require immediate, iterative decision-making.
Associative Thinking: We use metaphors to break participants out of daily routines and help them view their environment from a fresh, broader angle.
The “Human-in-the-Loop” Focus: Whether using proprietary Tirian simulations or integrating specific academic scenarios, our goal is to ensure human judgment—not automated output—remains the architect of organizational strategy.
Andrew & Gaia Grant facilitate executive programs incorporating the Harvard Business School case study: ‘JPMorgan Chase: Leadership in the Age of GenAI ’. The sessions integrate proprietary frameworks—focusing on Critical Thinking, Innovation and Ambidextrous Leadership —to help leaders harness generative AI strategically. They have facilitated executive education programs in partnership with leading global institutions, including Harvard Business School, Duke Corporate Education, the University of Sydney Business School, and Miami University.

Facilitation: Consulting & Coaching
Explore: with a LITE, BASIC or ELEMENTS -Introductory understanding:
Message focused: Designed to change the way people feel
Examine: with a STANDARD, Core Learning:
Professional facilitation helps a group solve a problem by facilitating an effective process. The focus is on the EDUCATIONAL aspect of facilitation: Intended to change the way people feel and think
Extend: with an EXECUTIVE- Deep Dive
Executive facilitation focusses on the DEVELOPMENTAL aspect of facilitation: It helps the group solve a substantive program and learns to improve its process at the same time.
Extend: with BESPOKE Designed & Fully Integrated Intervention:
We can design a full end to end leadership ecosystem journey style program, that starts with outcomes, and results in an end solution.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? We can offer the following methods of development: Facilitation, consultation, & coaching
- The facilitator’s main aim is to help the group increase effectiveness by improving processes and structure.
- Process: refers to how a group works together, talks to each other, identifies and solve problems, makes decisions and handles conflict.
- Structure: refers to stable recurring group processes dynamics and roles.
- Content: refers to what the group is working on. The facilitator does not need to be a content expert and should remain neutral. The facilitator’s role is to bring out the expertise in the group.
- In a pure facilitation session, the facilitator should not be to seek to change people’s behaviour, but to provide feedback that enables people to decide whether to change their own behaviour, and should they decide, be the facilitator can help them learn how to change (and or add in a coaching element).
- A consultant provides their expertise to the group
- A coach seeks to change behaviour
