The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures (LS)

Harnessing the power of small changes to transform and re-energise groups and organisations - one interaction at the time.

A two-day workshop that will forever change the way you enable innovation and change

Do you lead meetings for teams and groups?

Were you ever tasked to engage people in a change? Is part of your role getting the ‘best’ out of teams? Would you like to energise people to change the way they operate to create more innovation? Or get people to collaborate and discover solutions together? Would you like to solve perennial problems of disengaged workers, dysfunctional groups, and wasted ideas faced by so many organisations? Liberating Structures can help you make it happen.

2 Day Immersion Workshop in Auckland in February 2020

You are invited to a highly engaging, experiential learning 2-day immersion workshop, facilitated by experienced Liberating Structures facilitators, Monica Leon, Perrin Rowland, Shireen Chua and David Bennett. They will guide you through learning what for a growing number of organisations and communities, has proven to be a revolutionary way of helping groups work together and get great things done.

Who should attend this workshop

This workshop is for anyone who organises, runs or facilitates meetings, or is interested in transforming their organisation: managers, leaders, supervisors, board members, change agents, catalysts and disruptors. If you’re an organisation development (OD), human resources professional or learning & development specialist, you’ll love this workshop. Human-centred design and Agile scrum masters around the world have already found Liberating Structures is a great match to enhance their ways of working.

Liberating Structures are highly engaging and boost innovation

Liberating Structures is a set of 33+ practical how-to methods to help you include and unleash everyone —at all levels—in contributing their ideas in a safe, productive, and fun way. Each “Liberating Structure” introduces tiny shifts in the way we meet, plan, decide and relate to one another – and these tiny shifts (or microstructures) are deceptively easy-to-learn and straightforward! No expensive investments, complicated training, or shifts in the formal structure required.

Liberating Structures can bring more freedom, responsibility, and inclusiveness to routine meetings. The use of the structures boosts innovation when working across functions and disciplines on complex projects and initiatives. People find themselves working at the top of their individual and collective intelligence when organising a movement, strategy-making, or transforming culture. During the workshop, we will introduce new Liberating Structures created since Keith McCandless and Henri Lipmanowicz published their book “The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures: Simple Rules to Unleash A Culture of Innovation”.

Liberating Structures are an adaptive practice based on complexity science

Grounded in complexity science, Liberating Structures help you address some of the most challenging aspects of working in groups and organisations to move you away from change as an event to change as an adaptive practice. These practices work well with small and large groups.
