What is Facilitation?
Facilitation is a Participatory Process to mobilise groups to work more smoothly , promptly and productively. It is about creating a safe and creative space for groups to work through complex issues and the task at hand and getting results by sharing ownership and involving people.
Why Facilitate?
Today’s clients are savvy, knowledgeable and critical and do not take to telling or advice from you readily. Successful Client Engagements is often the ability to build trusting relationships in an environment of safety, authenticity and confidence. A core skill that enables you to build such relationships with clients is Facilitation.
Similarly, “employee engagement” has become the hot issue for organizations today and Managers and Leaders play a critical role in engaging their people. According to Gallup’s research on employee engagement, on average, 80% of employees are either disengaged or actively disengaged. Facilitation can help teams to have productive dialogues, surface assumptions and celebrate diversity and creativity. The Facilitative Leader gets results by encouraging the individual voice to emerge and building shared understanding and wisdom – all by using participative methods.
