7. Research, Surveys and Practitioner Inquiry
TFM may conduct surveys, practitioner inquiries, action research, literature reviews, and facilitated conversations to explore issues affecting facilitation practice and the profession.
Findings shared through TFM may reflect participant perspectives, practitioner experience, available research, or interpretation at a particular point in time.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, TFM research and inquiry should not be interpreted as representing the views of the facilitation profession as a whole or of any particular professional association.
The TFM Privacy Policy provides information about the collection and handling of personal information.
8. Artificial Intelligence
The Facilitators’ Muse™ may use generative artificial intelligence and other digital tools to support aspects of research, idea exploration, organization, drafting, editing, and content development.
