Facilitation and planning
When your team shares their thinking, everyone gets involved. The result is accelerated alignment. Facilitating this process involves creating a safe space with a defined process. The process begins with understanding high level goals, then creating a framework that leverages collective intelligence to generate results.

Step 2 – make sense of the data. Giving the team a role in prioritizing and ranking ideas is a critical phase of the participation and buy-in process. This step of the process encourages honest exchanges and help flesh out the justifications for a ranked set of priorities.
Step 3 – Share the plan and encourage participation. The plan becomes useful when it’s easy to understand and encourages participation.
Step 4. Evaluate results and continually update the plan. Continuing the collaborative process increases the chance of the plan becoming reality.
