Since dynamic facilitation depends on group energy, it is most effective where there IS group energy. The group shares a passionate interest in something. They are immersed in a common problem. They work or live together all the time.
Dynamic facilitation invites the underlying group energy out into the group space and lets it flow.
The facilitator helps people share whatever information or views they brought into the meeting. This informs the group of the knowledge it has available to it, while freeing up group members' attention so they can better listen to each other and co-create together. Although a particular group or purpose may require other categories, any group struggling with a situation will find these four categories invite the group's energy to flow in productive directions. Shifts that happen in a choice-creating meeting often have lasting effects on relationships and conversations that go on outside the meeting, which are, after all, where we live. Dynamic facilitation is often quite non-linear, which can be disconcerting for those of us dependent on agendas or other solid evidence of progress.
