Dynamic Facilitation is particularly suitable for issues such that the definition of the (security) problem, the solutions tabled and the objections to these solutions arousing emotions in the participants

The method relies on the participants' creativity in finding a solution, and deliberately avoids conventional, linear facilitation structures. Dynamic Facilitation is used extensively in organizational and management consulting, but can be transferred to other areas.
