There
are many forms of facilitation. We use many forms in a specific event.
Facilitation of the creative
process must be added to the kit.
You can go into a breakout group and make sure all the voices are
heard, or you can go in and disrupt a dialogue if you think it is
coming to the issue too soon. One of the things you can do with the
creative process is disrupt it. Creative
people are very disorderly. People who are too ordered can be
less creative. They need help disrupting.
When I design a building, I sit down and rethink what architecture
is. I usually go way out on this until I am ready to design. It is
a deliberate technique to force myself into ambiguity, abstraction
and obstruction, and to challenge my old assumptions.
Most people can do that fairly well if they are good at a craft, art
or science. When a group comes together, you have a variety of techniques,
methods and definitions of truth. You have to create
a common language before work can progress. This is far more important
than cooperation.
