The Art of Facilitation


The art of facilitation is used to help build consensus and confidence.   The value to any organization should be obvious.   How does this apply?   Consider:

Why Do Managers Use Facilitation? 

To work better, to work smarter, to work faster. 

To get the whole answer
.
To get more people involved.

To get new ideas, wild ideas, great ideas.

To foster understanding, support and follow-through

All these aspects of facilitation help build a more cohesive organization and team.  The power of facilitation done well can be best understood in the maxims:
“The measure of the power of a group decision is if the decision lives through its own implementation, and People support what they help create.”
