Throughout the book, expert facilitator Suzanne Ghais shows how \u003ci\u003eextreme facilitation\u003c\/i\u003e - which puts on the emphasis on creativity, flexibility, and customization - can change how group members interact with one another and how participants view the issues even in the most challenging and exceptionally difficult situations. \u003ci\u003eExtreme Facilitation\u003c\/i\u003e covers the preparatory phases of the process, including assessment, convening, and contracting.
