Two Powerful Techniques in Facilitation

Dec 7, 04

In this month?s newsletter, I’ve written about two powerful techniques that can be used in group facilitation.

  • Left Hand Column Exercise: This technique was used originally by Chris Argyris and made popular by Peter Senge through his book, The Fifth Discipline to understand the underlying causes while interacting with one another.
  • Confrontation Meeting: This technique was first used by Richard Beckhard. He offers a methodology for creating action plans for improvement through “an activity that allows a total management group, drawn from all levels of the organization, to take a quick reading of its own health and – within a matter of hours- to set action plans for improving it.” He calls this activity a confrontation meeting.
