Who should be at the table for a multi-party facilitation?
There are several criteria for deciding the most appropriate participants in a multi-stakeholder facilitation. One factor is the degree to which the person’s or organization’s presence is key to the success of the effort (involved in implementation of agreements, for example) or whose absence would be significantly detrimental to the process. Generally, people or organizations who serve an important role in coordinating, decision-making, developing and implementing the effort and any agreements should be included.
