Liberating Structures Immersion Workshops
Liberating Structures (LS) introduces tiny shifts in the way we meet, plan, decide, and relate to one another. They put the innovative power once reserved for experts only in the hands of everyone.
Unwittingly, the conventional structures used to organize how people routinely work together stifle inclusion, engagement, and risk-taking while boosting resistance to change. Conventional structures are either too inhibiting (presentations, status reports and managed discussions) or too loose and disorganized (open discussions and brainstorms) to creatively engage people in authoring their own future. They frequently generate feelings of frustration and/or exclusion and fail to provide space for risk- taking or good ideas to emerge and germinate. This means that huge amounts of time and money are spent working the wrong way. More time and money are then spent trying to fix the unintended consequences.
We provide private and public Liberating Structures immersion workshops where participants are exposed to and play with 33+ Liberating Structures – simple methods that change the way results are generated. By design, Liberating Structures distributes control so that participants can shape direction as the action unfolds. Inspired by complexity science and developed by Henri Lipmanowicz and Keith McCandless, LS helps you address some of the most challenging aspects of working together while supporting human development.
