FACILITATION

Why do groups use a facilitator? Professional facilitation by The Mary Orton Company can help groups avoid these common problems:
  • The group has difficulty in deciding where to start, how to proceed, or what to do next.

  • People experience loss of productivity and momentum due to disorganization or group dynamics.

  • One person dominates the discussion, while other voices aren't heard at all.

  • The group spends all its time discussing the first idea someone suggests, without thinking of other ideas to consider.

  • People repeat the same idea over and over because they don't believe they have been heard.

  • Even after a good discussion, the group resists making a decision because it involves making a choice - and closing off the possibility of other choices.
