What Is Group Facilitation?

Apply group facilitation deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that group facilitation directly affects.

Why Does Group Facilitation Matter?

Group Facilitation matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by group facilitation can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying group facilitation may:

  • uses group facilitation deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by group facilitation
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what group facilitation requires

How to Develop Group Facilitation

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where group facilitation is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles group facilitation and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger group facilitation would have changed the result
