A detailed user's guide for organizational consultants facilitators and mediators.

As group facilitators we can use methods like Open Space Technology Future Search and World Caf&eacute to reliably evoke "group magic" when working with larger groups. Yet how can we tap into the generative power of self-organization when working with smaller groups &ndash especially ones facing complex and conflict-laden issues?

In From Conflict to Creative Collaboration: A User's Guide to Dynamic Facilitation collaboration consultant Rosa Zubizarreta introduces a highly effective and agile way to welcome task groups into a co-creative "flow zone" &ndash where participants create practical and innovative solutions while building trust empathy and authentic community.

Zubizarreta describes a ground-breaking facilitation approach for transforming unproductive group friction into world-class teamwork and innovation which will allow them to be more effective at drawing out group creativity.

Foreword by Peggy Holman
