Facilitation is key to keeping the session productive and inclusive:
- Encourage Participation: Make sure everyone has a chance to speak. Sometimes, the quietest person in the room has the best idea. - Avoid Criticism: Create a no-judgment zone where ideas can be freely expressed without immediate evaluation. - Keep it Focused: While it's important to allow for creative thinking, ensure the discussion stays on track with the session's objective. - Document Ideas: Use a whiteboard, sticky notes, or digital tools to capture all ideas so they can be reviewed later.
