WHAT IS FACILITATION?
fa·cil·i·ta·tion (n.) - The act of making easier.
Facilitation is a process in which a neutral third party with no
decision making authority intervenes to help a group reach a common
goal. A facilitator does not solve a problem, build a plan, or make
a decision for the group. Instead, he or she designs and then leads
the group through a process by which they can effectively do these
themselves.
The facilitator is “content neutral” and, as such, the primary
responsibility is to manage the group process effectively, so that
the participants can focus on the content and substance of the work
they have to do together. The role of the facilitator is to insure
all voices and points of view are heard, creative ideas are
generated, conflicts are constructively resolved, objectives are
met, and time is optimized.
An effective facilitator can enable a group to accomplish extremely
complex objectives, with extraordinarily high levels of commitment,
even in situations where initial opinions are extremely divergent.
