In the summer of 2022, Alberta Municipalities hired X5 Management to provide facilitation services for a series of high-level stakeholder meetings between our association, another provincial municipal association, and the Government of Alberta.

Gordon Sheppard and Mike Mack were the experienced X5 facilitators who worked with us before, during and after each meeting.

Not only did they help us to identify and determine shared priorities and key principles for alignment prior to each meeting, but during the actual negotiation sessions they objectively created a respectful and disciplined environment that allowed all participants to express themselves.

Overall, we were very pleased with X5’s support and facilitation skills.
