This post reminds me of what Dylan Wiliam has said about education,

"In education, everything works somewhere and nothing works everywhere. The interesting question is: under what conditions does this work?"

I believe, in facilitation too, this logic holds true. An effective facilitator is the one who knows the condition.

I love the quote, Umes. The same logic is absolutely true in facilitation and that is for me one of the key skill sets of process designers and everyone who works with tools. Thank you for sharing this insightful comment!

I really loved this post and the invitation towards inquiry around what our relationship to the method can reveal about our own growth edges. I also love the way the method can reveal something about the system we are working in.. I.e. was the brainstorming method really the issue or is this system prone to “consensus theatre” and the groups reluctance was reflecting this. Great opportunity for reflection.

Thank you!
