Abstract
The aim of this agenda setting paper is to outline first elements to a future conceptual framework of facilitation in participatory innovation, that is to say a systematic body of knowledge that explains how groups can collaborate and innovate through facilitation. Many of today’s challenges can only be tackled by the combined skills and experiences of a group as group knowledge surpasses any individual’s expertise or domain of influence. We aim to make a conceptual contribution to the field of facilitation in participatory innovation by explicating and more particularly delineating the use of visual templates for group facilitation in participatory innovation (MacInnis, 2011). Following the suggestions by MacInnis (2011), we will (1) provide a rationale why visual templates should be studied, (2) we will describe what visual templates are, by classifying functions and genres of visual templates, (3) present conducive contextual parameters (as potential moderating variables), such as the facilitator and corresponding roles and interventions as well as necessary skills to play those roles and enact interventions, and (4) provide a roadmap for future research.
