To approach this questions we spoke about two types of motivation to work with facilitation.

Internal motivation:

• We value a constant development
• Team work is important to us – We want to concentrate on cooperation
• We are looking for ways to empower ourselves
• Because we love to work with it
• We like to give value also to people not only to content
• We can be more effective in this way
• Because we want to get from “I know” to “I want” and "I do"
• Because we don’t want to teach but to create learning environment/ create learning
• We believe in a change as a step by step process and we believe that a dealing with change and finding your own way of adapting to life is important - facilitation can make you ready for it
• I prefer enhancing the cooperation between existing experts/ activists/ leaders over being an expert/ activist/ leader myself

External motivation:

Society changes

• We are knowledge society
• There is constant competition in knowledge
• Social media changed the way of cooperation 
• We are not observers or subordinates but we become participants in all life [art, entertainment, communities, education, politics etc.]
• We are parts of a system and we have to find a way to satisfy different parts of the system - facilitation can be a tool for enabling communication process between parts of the system (however we define it, on whatever level)
• In time of globalization there is a process of including stakeholders that haven’t been counting so far and facilitation is a way to implement this new tendency on the micro level

Organizational changes

• Knowledge is most important resource so companies/ organization expect their members to develop it
• Organizations want to empower employees
• People are most important factors but employees and members of organizations are sometimes not ready to work in new paradygme so they need facilitation
• From hierarchical structure to project work
• Need in project management to manage the people process better (right now 90% of project fails because of problems with the people process)
• We are expected to bring people to their maximum capacity
• We can save time for organization by better using group dynamics
• To change from employees to entrepreneurs
• Organizational knowledge is getting more and more important
• Need to reduce the anxiety and fear of change - facilitation gives an indirect way to work with implementation
• Need to take people from information-communication further to participation, engagement and personal responsibility
• Because their is an increasing need for creative and innovative ideas/ solutions and facilitation provides a frame for these 
• We have more and more distributed teams (working virtually) who are seeking for a way to cooperate and communicate.
• Increaslingly diverse work situations (with people from different countries, organization, age, culture, expectations etc.) ask for communication methods that foster integration of differences - and NICO_F proofed how facilitation can be a helpful way

Helpful Questions:

• Why do you think asks the given situation/ organization/ community for a facilitators support?

• Is it about acknowledgment? change? creativity? democracy? developpment? diversity management? empowerment? effectivity? efficiency? equality? learning? 
• What is your personal motivation/ idea of man/ worldview/ philosophy/ ideology/ principle of operation behind your interest to use facilitation? Does it correspond with the customer's demand (e.g. efficiency vs. acknowledgment, efficiency and empowerment)?
