"First of all, for complex problems and tasks, it is virtually never possible to find a single expert who possesses all the necessary knowledge. Therefore, the first task of facilitation is to extract and integrate the necessary knowledge from different minds. And second, plans and solutions most often fail to be implemented not because their content is bad, but because the people in charge of implementation have not been properly involved in the development of these solutions. Getting them properly involved is the second task of facilitation."
