Conversation on Health

In 2007, the Ministry of Health held 16 Regional Public Health Forums, Health Professionals Meetings and Patient Focus Groups to enable British Columbians to get together and talk about health care. It was an opportunity to directly give the Government ideas for solving some of the challenges facing the health care system to ensure it is there for future generations. IC Possibilities Inc. provided lead facilitation services as part of a team of over 30 facilitators. Meeting design varied for each session and included elements of Courtyard Cafe, Open Space, Creative Planning Dialogues and focus group format.

"Thank you for your extraordinary contribution to the largest public consultation effort undertaken in the province. You were able to get us on the right track with health professionals, and find ways to engage them in an open, productive and solutions-oriented environment. When we regularly get participants saying that they feel "hopeful" or "inspired", you know we are doing something right."

"From start to finish I found Ian a highly professional and helpful facilitator to deal with. He has an outstanding ability to gather information about group dynamics and to facilitate in a comfortable, non-threatening manner that supports people to overcome any differences and work together constructively. I would be happy to recommend Ian’s services to anyone considering facilitation services."
