Facilitation
Facilitation is supporting the work or conversation process so that the people involved can more easily achieve their goals without taking responsibility for them.
Definition
Facilitation is about designing conditions, questions, rules and rhythm of work that help a group or individual use their own resources. Unlike advising, it does not have to involve giving ready-made answers. Well-conducted facilitation increases the clarity, commitment and quality of decisions, but does not replace participants' agency.

Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to confuse facilitation with controlling a group or providing ready-made solutions. The second mistake is the lack of structure, which causes the conversation to spread out and not lead to a decision.
