Facilitation is a trusted tool for sharing ideas, delivering messages and collaborating with others. Formal facilitation methods became more structured in the late 60s and early 70s as a means of removing dysfunctions in the workplace. In many organisations, the use of a neutral third party to manage and improve meetings, presentations and learning sessions has become a valuable tool. Normally, the person who manages these interactions does not influence the outcome of the discussion. This facilitator training course for facilitators helps them orchestrate a steady flow of ideas and concepts and direct the conversation towards mutually beneficial outcomes.
