The use of facilitation is an increasingly important part of business life, since a collaborative approach to working is widely recognised as the most effective way to make decisions, capture requirements, plan projects and gain consensus.
The focus is on a team-based approach, with the right people and skills being brought together to produce high quality outputs in a short time. In order to do this successfully, a trained facilitator is essential.
