Facilitation is one of those skills that tends to be overlooked or ignored. People dismiss it as unnecessary as they can manage perfectly well without it. Yet how many meeting s have you sat through where you were uncertain whereabouts you were in the agenda or even if there was an agenda? On how many occasions have you thought that your time could be put to better use that in a meeting that was dragging on, seemingly going nowhere?

Facilitation is all about making best use of everyone’s time and making sure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute. The best facilitated meetings appear to go without a hitch and the objectives are all achieved.
