Raising Consciousness in Business, Government and the Professions
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.
