Disclaimer:
These techniques are intended to facilitate structured, opinionated discussions and models based on widely recognized mainstream heuristics. Keep in mind that real-world situations are often much more complex. Still, these tools can offer fresh perspectives, support decision-making, and inspire experimentation in a collaborative environment.
About This Collection
This section is a curated, alphabetical collection of collaborative facilitator techniques that I advocate for—not as my own inventions, but as a celebration of other people’s useful work. The goal is to highlight proven approaches and frameworks that have helped practitioners and organizations evolve their Strategy, System/Software Architecture, Organization Design, Processes / Value Streams, Cultural/Behavioral Aspects, or get rid of avoidable complexity and unnecessary drama.
What to Expect for Each Technique
For every technique in this collection, you will find:
Practitioner Perspective
- A short introduction and practical insights from my own experience as a facilitator.
Original Sources & References
- Clear mention of the original sources, authors, and references so you can explore the roots and further reading.
Practical Examples
- Concrete examples of how the technique can be used in real-world settings.
AI Prompts for Self-Learning
- Prompts you can use with ChatGPT or similar tools to get AI-assisted training and facilitation as you learn and experiment with these techniques on your own.
These techniques are widely used by practitioners to support the evolution of sociotechnical systems. I hope this collection helps you discover, understand, and apply these valuable tools in your own context.
