Strategic Facilitation

Benefits

Facilitation is a delicate process. If done with purpose and sensitivity, it enables the participants to do their best thinking. The process itself can enhance the culture and performance of a group, assisting them in the organizational and industry challenges they face.

Experience and Philosophy

Adelle has been facilitating for more than 30 years. Much like collective coaching, facilitation requires an understanding of the complexities of group dynamics and encouraging participants to be open, to listen, to adopt an inquisitive stance, and to promote meaningful conversations that allow the group to exercise sound judgment in a way that is beneficial to all.

Under the tutelage of Beth Jandernoa and Glennifer Gillespie of Collaborative Change Works, part of her experience includes mapping and model-building. looks at accessing underlying patterns and problems in any complex situation and identifying structural traps, defensive routines, and causal loops.

Model-building, on the other hand, looks at understanding tacit models of behavior within the individuals of that group. Both processes use guided facilitative processes with a view to finding a resolution to the situation in a way that constructs the group’s own unique model of practice.

Facilitation cannot be achieved without a strategic intent and an appreciation of the common objectives for the business, the group, and the session. Facilitation processes that enhance the group culture, improve collaboration, and build innovation are vital for the world in which we now live. Having some fun in the process never did any harm either.
