Article: Deliberative Methods for Complex Issues: A typology of functions that may need scaffolding

Below I link to an article that is likely to be relevant to many forum members. It details the functions performed by various methods and facilitation actions used when leading groups working on complex issues. There are also two links to a set of cards and instructions for using them, that can support a facilitator in the process of designing a facilitation strategy.

Apropos cards: do you know the Group Works card deck?

Yes, I have them. I also have some thoughts about what they are, in relation to the cards I created. But we can talk about that IRL, if you are interested, since we work in the same building.
