8. Facilitation Guide

This chapter holds a facilitation guide, which shows how to plan and execute a team or stakeholder workshop in the early phases of innovation (in terms of the team and stakeholder application). First, the chapter provides an overview of the project types where a team or stakeholder workshop is relevant, and a number of hands-on steps for planning, executing, and documenting a workshop. Second, the chapter provides guidelines for the facilitator’s role and mindset in a workshop, including instructions, facilitations, and interventions, and it unfolds some of the critical interactions and situations, which may occur. And finally, the chapter shows how the facilitator can encourage the development of Personal and Shared Experiential Concepts and use these as main results from a team or stakeholder workshop.
