Facilitator/elicitor

In a group modelling workshop, functioning as group facilitator and knowledge elicitor, this person pays constant attention to group process, the roles of individuals in the group, and the business of drawing out knowledge and insights from the group. This role is the most visible of the five roles in the group modelling support team, as the facilitator constantly works with the group to further the group’s model- building effort (Richardson and Andersen, 1995: 113-137). Also see process coach, recorder, modelling gatekeeper, modeller/reflector.
