Re: Seeking academic research on the impact of facilitation (F2F or virtual) as an intervention in organizational change and learning processes, through the lens of systems theory
Constellation's approach to facilitate groups and communities to own and respond to their issues aims to move NGO staff from interventionist to facilitative mode.See this link?
Best wishes for your important research. Would love to read the end product.

I am up to my ears in research papers doing my literature review, but am not finding exactly what I want. Facilitators intervene in complex social systems (F2F and increasingly virtual) to try to change them towards their client's goals (if they are external). I have articles on what facilitators are (aren't), do (don't do), and bring (don't bring), but what happens after they leave and what can be attributable to their intervention? What changes? What is learned? Because I am using systems theory as a framework, I would be happy to see how scholars use that lens to look at facilitation/facilitator interventions - this could be in F2F processes or virtually.? International environmental NGOs are my research focus, but any sector will do for now. I have found some studies conducted in universities on students, thus not a real-life context which would be ideal. I will be happy to share my research once it is published.
