Facilitation Moments: Exploring the power of facilitation
An interactive session on facilitation skills organised by International Association of Facilitators (IAF) and Goa HR Forum in association with The International Centre, Goa 

What is facilitation?
The word facilitation is derived from the Latin ‘facile’ which, simply translated, means ‘to make easy’.  A facilitator is therefore someone who makes something easy for others.  So how is facilitation different from other professional services that might also make something easier, such as consultancy, training or mediation?  
A classic if lengthy definition is that of Roger Schwarz:

“Group facilitation is a process in which a person, whose selection is acceptable to all members of the group, is substantively neutral, and has no decision-making authority, diagnoses and intervenes to help a group improve how it identifies and solves problems and makes decisions, to increase the group’s effectiveness.” – Roger Schwarz

Mr. Ajit K. Kamath, CPF, ASIA Regional Director of IAF & Sr. Trainer & Facilitator at WizTalks India will join you in exploring these moments.
