Corporate Facilitation Services in Toronto, Ontario

FUSE Facilitation helps Toronto leadership teams, cross-functional groups, and offsite workshops turn complexity into better decisions and stronger alignment.

Who facilitates strategic planning and leadership sessions in Toronto and the GTA?

FUSE Facilitation facilitates strategic planning, executive offsites, board retreats, and team-building and alignment sessions across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, with Ontario-based facilitators — Mishkin Berteig in Toronto and Michael Kaufman in Ontario — alongside the wider team. Our Ontario client work includes Home Depot Canada, the provincial electricity utility Hydro One, and the province-wide education network Contact North.

Facilitators Who Live in Ontario

Mishkin Berteig is Toronto-based and Michael Kaufman is Ontario-based. FUSE's published financial-services vision retreat and manufacturing purpose-and-OKR workshop are Canadian evidence, but they are not labeled as Toronto engagements when the published case does not support that claim.

This distinction matters. Buyers should be able to separate where a facilitator lives, where a case occurred, and where FUSE is willing to deliver. In the first conversation we'll tell you who would facilitate and whether the closest work we've done is genuinely comparable to yours, or only looks like it.

Enterprise and Leadership Work in the GTA

FUSE scopes executive and board retreats, strategy sessions, cross-functional workshops, large-group participation, and team alignment. Regulated, legal, procurement, language, accessibility, or confidentiality requirements are identified before the session architecture is agreed.

Work can occur at the client's location, a venue contracted by the client, or in a virtual or hybrid format. The proposal identifies the facilitator team, discovery, design, delivery, evidence handling, and follow-through rather than relying on a generic Toronto package.

Serving the Greater Toronto Area

Mishkin Berteig is Toronto-based and Michael Kaufman is Ontario-based, so GTA engagements can be led by facilitators who already work in this market. Which facilitator is assigned depends on the work: we match the room to the right practitioner during discovery, and that may mean bringing in a colleague from elsewhere on the team when they are the better fit.

We deliver across the GTA — Toronto proper, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton — plus Ottawa, Kitchener–Waterloo, and London on planned travel. These are delivery areas, not offices. We do not maintain a location in any of them, and we will say so plainly.

Working Through Enterprise Procurement

Larger GTA organizations rarely buy facilitation on a handshake. Expect vendor onboarding, insurance confirmation, privacy and accessibility requirements, and a documented scope before a purchase order exists. We are used to that and treat it as part of the engagement rather than an obstacle to it.

The proposal separates professional fees from venue, travel, production, and specialist costs so procurement can evaluate each line. It states assumptions, exclusions, payment terms, and change control explicitly. Where your process requires references, a security questionnaire, or a specific contract paper, tell us early and we will work to it.

Good Places to Start

- Executive and board offsites - Strategy and vision alignment - Purpose, values, and OKR working sessions - Cross-functional and large-group facilitation - Leadership-team alignment and operating agreements - Operating-model and decision-rights sessions for scaling technology teams

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is based in Ontario?

Mishkin Berteig is Toronto-based and Michael Kaufman is Ontario-based. The proposal names the facilitator assigned to the engagement.

Does FUSE have a Toronto office?

FUSE is headquartered in Calgary and has facilitators based in Ontario. Sessions run at your workplace, a venue you contract, or virtually.

Does FUSE have financial-services experience?

FUSE publishes a Western Canadian financial-services vision alignment retreat for 65 participants. That was a Western Canadian firm rather than a Bay Street one, and we'd rather say so than let it read as a Toronto engagement.

How does procurement work?

After discovery, FUSE provides a written proposal with scope, outputs, roles, assumptions, exclusions, pricing, and terms. Client-specific vendor, insurance, privacy, accessibility, or contracting requirements are handled before work begins.

Do you deliver outside Toronto proper?

Yes. Ontario-based facilitators deliver across the GTA — including Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton — and travel to Ottawa, Kitchener–Waterloo, and London. These are delivery areas rather than offices; FUSE maintains no location in any of them.
