What Is Facilitation?
What Is A Facilitator?
A facilitator acts as a neutral third party whose goal is to help create a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can effectively communicate, collaborate, problem-solve, and make decisions. Facilitation techniques can vary depending on the context and objectives of the group, but they often involve activities such as brainstorming, prioritization, group discussions, consensus-building, and decision-making exercises.
A facilitator can evoke group creativity and foster meaningful conversations through skilled question-asking that will ensure participants reach their desired outcomes.
When Is Facilitation Used?
Facilitation is commonly used in various settings, including meetings, workshops, training sessions, managing organizational development, change management initiatives, strategic planning and stakeholder engagement endeavors. It is most valuable for managing group conflict or differing perspectives.
