Facilitation™ is a common word used in a variety of different contexts.

The skill of facilitation assists organizations to tackle difficult challenges using best practice facilitation methods, to make certain robust solutions that can be delivered in an effective, timely and constructive way that won’t compromise on the key issues and to enable organizations to involve and engage people at all levels, using a collaborative approach to facilitate change.
