DQI - Accredited Facilitators

Accredited Facilitators

All of our Accredited Facilitators are senior professionals from within the Built Environment. A Facilitator uses his/her knowledge and experience to deliver the structure for workshop interactions and to analyse and interpret the outcomes.

DQI works with you to allocate an Accredited Facilitator to your project. This allocation is based on your project’s needs and our Facilitator’s strengths. All Facilitators are independent of the projects they work with. Our Accredited Facilitators come from the organisations below:
