Skilled Facilitation
Research shows that group collaboration consistently produces better ideas and knowledge than one person alone. Problem solvers must be able to discern the merits, limitations, and failings of oral and written arguments. Unfortunately, organizational hierarchy, personality cults, and thought distortions, such as groupthink, cognitive biases, and reasoning fallacies, can completely derail the most experienced and brightest groups. Westport’s unique skilled facilitation methodology using interactive dialogue and deep thinking techniques has been demonstrated to effectively improve group performance.
