Training vs Facilitation

I just completed delivering a workshop on Training vs Facilitation and I am always amazed by this exploration. However, because of my bias (which itself goes against the grain of facilitation!) a few of my participants mentioned that I was coming down hard on Trainers! And making all Trainers look bad! I realized they were right - because there are contexts where Training is more relevant than facilitation. Like technical training, product training, etc.

However I continue to think that even in these programmes, there is still a lot of room for facilitation - sometime ago I redesigned an entire Six Sigma programme containing 650 powerpoint slides into under 100 slides and mostly facilitated and the results were amazing!

Would love to hear from you what your views are!

Training vs Facilitation or "Facili-training"??
