Facilitation is about helping people to communicate more clearly. This can be done within divisions of large organisations, within a small business or within teams in a workplace. The outcomes to be achieved are agreed, and the agenda is developed in consultation with the client, and ideally the staff as well, and then leadership of the meeting is handed over to a neutral outsider. A safe environment is created where people are encouraged to openly have their say. Within the meeting, goals are set, and blockages, which may impact on the achievement of the goals, are identified. Options for measures which will remove the blockages and move the team towards achievement of the goals are identified and selected and action plans are developed and documented.
