Book Title: Facilitating Breakthrough /T
ISBN: 9781523092048
By Author(s):ADAM KAHANE

Format:TPB
Making progress on complex problematic situations requires a new approach to working together: transformative facilitation, a structured and creative process for removing the obstacles to fluid forward movement.
It is becoming less straightforward for people to move forward together. They face increasing complexity and decreasing control. They need to work with more people from across more divides. In such situations, the most common ways of advancing—some people telling others what to do, or everyone just doing what they think they need to—aren’t adequate. What is a better way?
One better way is through facilitating. But the most common approaches to facilitating—bossy vertical directing from above or collegial horizontal accompanying from alongside—aren’t adequate. They often leave the participants frustrated and yearning for breakthrough.
This book describes a new approach: transformative facilitation. It doesn’t choose either the bossy vertical or the collegial horizontal approach: it cycles back and forth between them. Rather than forcing or cajoling, the facilitator removes the obstacles that stand in the way of people contributing and connecting equitably. It enables people to bring all of themselves to making a difference.
This book is foranyone who helps people work together to transform their situation, be it a professional facilitator, a manager, consultant, coach, chairperson, organizer, mediator, stakeholder, or friend.It offers a broad and bold vision of the contribution that facilitation can make to helping people collaborate to make progress.
