facilitation     Facilitation turns the process into a guided discussion and ensures results. The facilitator pursues fixed targets in an objective manner and keeps both the participants and the discussion in focus. Maintaining the dialogue with all the participants the discussion guide uses all the resources available and leads the way to common results. When the debate drifts off into detail or gets hooked on minor topics, the facilitator interferes and moves the essentials back into the focus of attention. The facilitator guide opens up new perspectives and invites the participants to open their minds to new solutions and to agree on them. Facilitation supports the achievement of goals by offering the advantages of a neutral eye and a constructive distance. A guided discussion paves the way to efficient results.
