Abstract
Facilitated modelling (FM) is an intervention process by which operational research models are jointly developed with a group tasked with addressing a situation that requires attention and action. The process requires operational researchers to act both as analysts and facilitators, and is designed to help the group make progress with regards to the situation of interest. The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework that can act as a guide for the study of FM processes and outputs, and the design and use of FM interventions. The framework is comprised of three elements: groups as motivated information processors, models as boundary objects, and facilitation as intervention. Each of these elements is discussed with working propositions formulated for core FM processes and outputs. Implications of the framework for the study and practice of FM are discussed, and directions for future research proposed.
