Facilitation
Purpose
Design and hold effective facilitation containers
How to Use
From Facilitation -- Session Structure and Container PDF. 1. Clarify the objective of the session. 2. Set up the container: establish agreements, norms, and the physical/emotional environment (the guru metaphor -- the container determines the taste). 3. Design the conversation flow: opening, working phase, close. 4. Use an opening ritual to settle the group. 5. Move fluidly between convergent and divergent phases. 6. Close with a harvest of key insights and a commitment round.
