Flexible Facilitation

A practical introduction to core facilitation methods based on almost two decades’ experience of working with teams of all sizes.

Facilitation is a vital skill for any organisation, team or community looking to bring people together and act collectively with purpose.

Facilitation methods can be applied to large scale design- and systems-focused work but they also provide simple approaches to better meetings, easier interactions and more structured conversations.

We’ve turned years of facilitation experience into a short, high impact training course that gets you facilitating yourself from the start.

We’ll take you through the fundamentals of facilitation; open up the possibilities of where facilitation can bring value; explore different frameworks; and leave you with tips and tools you can implement immediately.
