There
is a difference between the merely complicated situation,
and the truly complex dilemma. How are we as facilitators to help our
clients confront their most tricky challenges, from policy development to
climate change adaption, from culture change to planning service delivery in
times of tight budgets. Such genuinely complex dilemmas defy typical decision
making processes. Complexity theory tells us that enduring solutions to complex
dilemmas arise through collaboration. But what does good collaboration look
like and what is the implication for us as facilitators?
This
session will identify the root causes of excellent collaboration and explore
Twyfords' own Collaborative Governance Framework. The 'CG' framework
provides a roadmap for facilitators and project sponsors alike, presenting a
low-risk pathway from 'dilemma' to 'enduring solution'.
