How is information captured and shared in a facilitated session?
Today with electronics making documenting easier than ever there is a tendency to document during a session. Peryam and Associates believes that the main focus of a group session is to capitalize on individual thinking, therefore we still prefer all work during the session to be displayed on flip charts and Post-its so that it can be seen. Documentation generally takes place after the session by capturing all information that is on flipcharts, or during the session by an independent third party. When we facilitate large groups, we sometimes have to distill thinking in smaller break out groups and then display it for the larger group using the assistance of technology. Most of the time when we facilitate via phone or video conference we use electronic flipcharts to aid documenting individual thinking. • What facilitator resources are available? Many resources are available to facilitators. Some of our favorites are noted in the Resources section of this website.
