Process facilitation enables people to think more clearly, efficiently and systematically. The objective is to achieve both quality and speed within deadline. Facilitators do this by ensuring clarity of task, a process (thinking framework) appropriate to that task, effective application of facilitation skills during the session, good time management, and full participation.

Process facilitation is helping, focused on results, reality-based, flexible, visible and clear. It is not manipulative, focused on win/lose, dogmatic or based on a single model.
