Facilitation
Why is Facilitation Important?
Organisations today are increasingly challenged to out-perform their competitors by bringing out the very best in their people, teams and structures. The old-school hierarchical approach of command and control has become less and less appropriate and acceptable. In the context of an ever-changing dynamic organisation, bringing out the best implies that it is there already and needs only to be discovered. The science and art of facilitation provides an empowering and creative approach to stimulating collaborative dialogue that enables this process of discovery in a meaningful and productive way.

'Facilitation is all about playing the role of a catalyst, enabling a process to proceed and proactively managing interactions, people, activities, etc that may support or impede the process.' (John Heron,1999)
