Facilitation Design

Core principle: Good facilitation structures participation so the best thinking surfaces, regardless of who holds it. Bad meetings let the loudest voice win.

When to Use This Skill

• A group needs to make a decision, generate ideas, or align on direction
• A meeting keeps happening but produces no outcomes
• Power dynamics or personality differences suppress useful input
• A workshop or offsite needs a structured agenda with clear deliverables
• A retrospective needs to surface honest feedback
