25. Consultancy Protocol
PURPOSE A Consultancy is a structured process for helping individuals or teams think more expansively about a particular, concrete dilemma. TIME Approximately minutes ROLES Presenter: Whose work dilemma is discussed by the group Facilitator: Who guides Presenter and Consultancy Group members through the process; may or may not participate in the Consultancy, depending on the size of the group Consultancy Group members: Who ask questions and discuss the dilemma of the Presenter

26. Steps in the Consultancy Protocol
The Presenter gives an overview of the dilemma with which s/he is struggling, and offers a related question for the Consultancy Group to consider.  The framing of this question, as well as the quality of the presenter’s reflection on the dilemma being discussed are key features of this protocol.  If the presenter has brought student work, educator work or other artifacts, there is a pause to silently examine them.

27. The Consultancy Group asks clarifying questions of the Presenter
The Consultancy Group asks clarifying questions of the Presenter. The Consultancy Group asks probing questions of the Presenter. These questions help the presenter to clarify and expand his/her thinking about the dilemma that has been presented. The goal of this step is to have the presenter learn more about the question s/he has framed and do further analysis of the dilemma that has been presented. The Presenter responds to the probing questions, but there is no discussion by the Consultancy Group about the responses. At the end of this step, the Facilitator asks the Presenter to restate his/her question for the Consultancy Group.

28. The Consultancy Group talks about the dilemma and the presenter’s responses to their questions. The Presenter listens in. Guiding questions for this discussion include: What did we hear? What didn’t we hear that might be relevant? What assumptions seem to be operating? What do we think about the dilemma? What questions does the dilemma raise for us? What is particularly striking about this dilemma? What might we do/have we done if faced with a similar dilemma?

29. Members of the group sometimes offer suggestions for action to the presenter.  Most often, they work to define the issues more thoroughly and objectively. The presenter doesn’t speak during this discussion, but sits apart from the group, listens, and takes notes.  

30. The Presenter reflects out loud about what s/he has heard and what s/he is now thinking, sharing anything that particularly resonated for him/her during the Consultancy. The Facilitator leads a short debriefing about the Consultancy Protocol.
