title: Dynamic Facilitation
description: >-
A small-group facilitation method that uses four charts — solutions,
concerns, data, and vision statements — to surface creative breakthroughs
through energy rather than agenda control. Developed by Jim Rough.

steps:
- headline: Set up four charts
description: >-
The facilitator posts four flip charts labelled Solutions, Concerns,
Data, and Vision. There is no agenda beyond the issue named.
- headline: Capture as it flows
description: >-
The facilitator captures each contribution on the relevant chart as it
arises, validating every shift in direction rather than redirecting.
- headline: Follow energy
description: >-
The facilitator follows the group's energy, not a plan. Moments of
tension or excitement are welcomed as doorways to breakthrough.
- headline: Reach a choice
description: >-
Through this unstructured flow, the group reaches a shared sense of
what is really going on and what to do — a "choice" rather than a
decision.
outcome: >-
The group arrives at a creative shared result that no structured agenda
would have produced, often a reframing of the original problem.
practice: >-
This is harder than it looks. The facilitator must hold the space without
imposing order. Trust the energy; the charts do the organising.
