"Facilitate" can have a very useful and precise meaning when used to describe someone who is running a meeting of some sort and their role is to keep it on track, making sure it progresses in a timely manner and sticks to the agenda. That said, "run" also works for that meaning, it's just a little less precise.
When it's used in a vaguer way then that I tend to agree with you.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoIsn’t the meeting role called a „moderator”, or even „chair”?
- hrnnnnnn 4y agoBoth of those work too. Chair suggests the person called the meeting and cares about the outcome, where "facilitator" or "moderator" sounds more neutral.
