Abstract

Culture, context, market developments, processes, leadership, the previous history; all of this, in its multi-layered and contourless complexity, has an impact on the meeting and flows back from there. In this chapter you will learn how you as a facilitator always manage to include the right context in the group dynamics.

Organized anarchies are organizations characterized by problematic preferences, unclear technology, and fluid participation. (Cohen et al. 1988, p. 294)
