10-7 The Organizing Step: Putting it all together

So just to summarize, the organization step involves helping the group agree on key organizational elements:

• What the group is going to do (purpose, outcomes, etc)
• Who is needed to do it (members, roles, etc.)
• How it will be done (structure, decision making, communication protocols)

And then documenting it in the form of working agreements (operating principles) that guide the group.

Below is an outline of how a facilitator would work to “put it all together” and approach this stage.

Have fun convening your collaborative groups!
