facilitation

 

To facilitate literally means  "to make easy".

​

A professional facilitator can be brought in to generate agreement

in situations where this may be more difficult or elusive

if managed internally.

​

Montreux Global Facilitators are skilled in working with

groups of executives and managers with different or potentially

conflicting ideas, to reach decisions that all are ready to act on.

​

While a skilled practitioner can make this look easy,

the expertise required actually comes from highly evolved

leadership capabilities that can also serve as a cultural model.

​

The skills involved include:

​

• creating and obtaining buy-in to a vision or goal

• ensuring that everyone participates actively

• exposing connections between apparently contradictory ideas

• generating new thinking and discussion through creative questions

• creating a sense and feeling of commonality

• generating energy for collective action

​

Skilled facilitation therefore models

important aspects of effective leadership.
