Stretch the World! Connecting the Huge and the Tiny in Facilitation.

It feels as if the big questions and the tiny details are at opposite ends of the spectrum. But what if, rather than being far apart, they were adjacent? Solutions Focus pioneer and leading facilitator Dr Mark McKergow presents a new view of working with detail. Based on his latest work in the Solution Focused approach, Mark will show you how you can ‘stretch the world’ of your clients by asking both huge and tiny questions – at the same time! Taking people to places, ideas and connections they haven’t visited before is not just think about a different ‘future’ – it is to inhabit a new ‘present’ as well.

About Mark
Dr Mark McKergow is an international consultant, speaker and author. Many people around the world have been inspired by his work in Solutions Focus - presented wth his inimitable blend of scientific rigour and performance pizzazz.  He is a world pioneer in applying the pragmatic and minimal philosophy of Solutions Focus (SF) to the organisational world, and has created a global community of practitioners sharing and developing new applications; Mark has led the development of SF strategic planning, negotiation, conflict management and organisational change models, as well as being one of the world’s leading group facilitators.  

With his partner Jenny Clarke, Mark edits and publishes books about SF in organisations, and is engaged in building links between SF and other post-structural approaches and academia.  His strengths in taking a wide perspective, learning rapidly, communicating, facilitating and combining a gentle touch with timely incisiveness lead to excellent results on time.  Mark was director of the HESIAN research hub at the University of Hertfordshire 2014-2017, edited the peer-reviewed journal InterAction from 2009-2016, and is an associate of the Taos Institute, USA.  Mark has been described as “liking ideas and approaches that make things simpler, quicker, cheaper and more respectful – particularly when they are based on something counter-intuitive and game-changing”.
