We often hear the term ‘collaborative’ and ‘self-organizing’ teams and extol their virtues. But how many so-called ‘self-organizing’ teams are truly self-organizing? How many ‘collaborative’ teams are truly effective at working together--especially when things get hot?

As it turns out, actually getting to genuine collaboration and self-organization is not so easy, and helping teams get there--whether we are coaches, facilitators, or managers--is a soft skill that even fewer of us possess.

Vertical Facilitation is a framework which helps team coaches and group facilitator-leaders learn those soft skills needed to guide groups and teams to the kinds of insights that ultimately lead to higher degrees of collaboration and self-organization. 

Through a set of specific skills & techniques, coach-leaders can learn to help teams radically improve both (a) the mental frames by which they understand their world and (a) the quality of communication and interaction by which they move toward effective action.
