"Process-based Faciltiation:" An Overview of the 12 Principles 

DC Workshop

GAO Office, Washington, DC

In the book Process-Based Facilitation authored by Mr. Wayne Vick (inaugural leader of MAFN) he outlines the 12 principles of facilitation.  Mr. Vick describes these principles as guides, those things abided by that enable one to live and honor personal values.  He indicates that just a few principles guide the majority of our behavior and actions…so the principles of facilitation are at the heart of what we do to make the values of facilitation real.  In the MAFN session the participants will explore the importance of each principle the tools and practices that are aligned with the 12 principles.

Thus, participants will discover:

• The importance of the 12 principles.

• The meaning of the principles.

• How the principles impact their facilitation practice and the practice within the facilitation community.
