Dialogic Decision Making Course - Facilitation Guide
AofPD
How do you facilitate a process where decisions emerge through dialogue rather than being imposed from above? This guide equips facilitators to run the Academy's Dialogic Decision Making course.
The Dialogic Decision Making Facilitation Guide provides the scaffolding facilitators need to guide participants through the Academy's structured course on bringing dialogue into decision-making processes. It covers the sequencing of sessions, the framing of key questions, and the conditions that allow genuine inquiry to replace positional debate. Facilitators are supported in attending to group dynamics as well as content, recognising that how a decision is reached shapes what becomes possible afterwards. The guide connects the practical mechanics of facilitation to the deeper principle that decisions made dialogically carry a different quality of ownership and commitment. It sits within the Academy's broader curriculum for practitioners developing the skills to introduce dialogic practice into organisational and community contexts.
