Somewhat unexpectedly I found myself in a session with Liberating Structures co-founder Keith McCandless just now.
It was interesting to see his list of his favourite additional ‘Liberating Structures in Development’, beyond the original 33 (such as classics like 1-2-4-All, Troika Consulting, TRIZ, Impromptu Networking etc).
Here they are! (I know some like Spiral Journal, Mad Tea, Network Pattern Cards, but just don’t know lots of others like Tiny Monsters, Grief Walking, Principles Walkaround etc).Anyone here find any of these new ones really useful? Which ones?1
Haven’t heard of any of them! Where can I get my hands on them?
Here are the sentence stem I use as check-in on virtual calls (adapted from griefing walking)… If only….. It makes me….. I have to ….When all is said and done….
They create a lot of space to see the range of what people are bringing in to the start of a meeting. The facilitator can read or suggest themes to ground and frame the agenda given what gets shared with the stems. Let’s keep learning and practicing together.
Smiling that we tried several in development ones in the LS meetings (spiral journal, network pattern cards, mad tea.) You also know a riff on grief walking. Yasmin and I used them and then Maureen as opening sentence stems to complete in chat. Example: If only….. When all is said and done…. It was a spacious and important way to support gathering during pandemic times. Smiling and curious what others are using to gather in these continual unpredictable times.
I’m curious about Future-Present
Hi Matthew and Kristin,
Thank you so much for this memory jog! I remember trying the LS punctuations – spiral journalling and ‘spring into action’ through Q and I LOVED them. I took spiral journalling back to my improvement advisor team during the pandemic and they loved it too – its the best reaction I’ve ever received from them!
I found some instructions online and am curating my own file of LS prompts/tools as I come to them via LS, Q and Happy etc. I definitely think spiral journalling continues to be useful, as Kristin says, in these frenetic and unpredictable times.
