Delivery Specialists

Common Ground offers on-site education on any of the diversity topics that we cover. These education programs are workshop in nature – engaging and participatory.

We offer programs that are “classic half-days” or 3.5 hours of content in a 4-hour space; 4.5 hours in a 5-hour space or 6.5 hours (including a lunch period which is sometimes a working lunch) in a full-day model. Our programs are usually best attended by up to 40 participants in each section, but nothing we do live is “off the shelf” or “vanilla” content. Every Common Ground education class is designed for the organization with whom we are working.

Pricing:

Because of the intently customized nature of everything that we do, there is also no “one size fits all” pricing for our programming. Please contact us for more information about our programs and pricing.

Other Options Abound!

Common Ground offers a number of other-than-live-facilitation options to your organization. We can…

  • Offer seminars to smaller groups on a focused topic or set of topics within our areas of expertise. These can be live and/or also made available through teleconference or video-conference

  • Design webinars on any of the topics within our areas of expertise and then work with your information technology organization to port them to your intranet

  • Offer live classes that are video-taped and then edited for video-tape distribution or DVD distribution. This option requires production elements that Common Ground would do in conjunction with your organization.

  • A fully realized action plan, including “boot camp” and implementation strategies for the long-term for Train the Trainer in any of the programming we offer.

If other than live facilitation is your goal, please contact us to discuss what’s possible…because just about anything is!
