“Facilitation is] … the art of leading people through processes toward agreed-upon objectives in a manner that encourages participation, ownership and creativity from all involved.”
– David Sibbet
In any great meeting two things must happen. The purpose or task of a meeting must be fulfilled and the process used in reaching the purpose must be effective In other words, there needs to be a balance between task and process.
The role of a facilitator helps the group and leader balance these two aspects by designing an effective process that allows the task to be completed sooner with better results. Using techniques to improve group communication and stay on track, Diane will meet with you to design the outcomes you want and the group questions that will get you there. As a leader, your input is critical for effective decision making and leading a meeting may keep you from fully participating.
