Forword by Daniela Simmons.
"If you want to obtain unprecedented results, try using unprecedented methods". Peter Senge
 
Support and material for the course : “The trainers are the authors of the book Facilitating Collective Intelligence (Routledge 2019 for the English version or Eyrolles 2018 for the French version) which is the theoretical and methodological support for the training. We suggest students to get it in advance so they can immediately articulate each session with the part of the book mentioned by the trainers.”

Persons obtaining certification are recognized by the authors of the book as competent to accompany groups using the techniques proposed in the context of their book “Facilitating Collective Intelligence”. They may also incorporate these techniques into their existing form(s) of practice: team supervision, project leadership, coaching, mediation, team management, training or teaching.

Those who have already followed one module benefit from a particular status when they attend the second module. In their capacity as ‘initiates’ they are offered broader facilitation opportunities than the ‘novices’.

9 Key inner attitudes to facilitate communication: becoming “safe for adoption”, requesting permission, noticing connections, recognizing “professional genius”, selecting a focus, identifying the “lesser evil”, developing the art of questioning, embracing non-expectancy, keeping the door open…

7 key questions to activate co-construction:
- How am I going to work with the here and now?
- How can I create a safe frame and context ?
- How will I stimulate cohesion ?
- What can I do to strengthen participants “sense of personal competence”?
- How will I take account of what remain unspoken?
