Facilitators’ Community

I will try to present opposing views in this blog. I have always believed that the Facilitator is a ‘neutral’ outside resource available to the organization to help it meet its goals. Johnnie Moore’s website, however, gives a different perspective which you will want to consider.

He says that the hosting model is “It’s like entering the machine, becoming a part of it and changing it by being there. In a living system you cannot enter the field without affecting the field”.

My first reaction was ‘No, no, no!”, but the more I think about it, I do ‘enter the system’ and I do ‘affect it’. I had one long term client tell me I had changed their culture. I was both flattered and horrified.
