When it comes to facilitation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach as different situations and groups may require different styles and models. However, some common facilitation styles and models for co-creation and innovation include participatory, creative, and iterative. Participatory facilitation emphasizes the active involvement of all participants, while creative facilitation stimulates their imagination and encourages them to think outside the box. Iterative facilitation follows a cyclical process of generating, testing, and improving ideas, allowing for learning from failures and feedback. Such methods used in facilitation can include brainstorming, voting, ranking, mapping, storytelling, metaphors, analogies, games, prototyping, piloting or user testing. These styles and models of facilitation can help to generate and prioritize ideas as well as validate and refine them; ultimately helping to inform and energize the group.
