Robin Hendy MIBC - Facilitation

There are times when we need someone from outside of our team to work with us in order to help us determine our issues, and more importantly the solutions that will move us towards our goals.

Facilitation might just be the answer.

So what is facilitation?

Think of it as coaching on a team scale, and we might be getting close to working out how it can help.

Sometimes we are just too close to an issue to be able to identify on our own how we can utilise the strengths and knowledge within our teams. That's where external facilitation can, and does help.

Facilitation though is more than just asking the right questions (although that's a pretty large part of the process). Facilitation is about introducing concepts and models for the team to work through in order to firstly identify the issue, and then the solution.
