About this Event
Liberating Structures, created by Henri Lipmanowicz and Keith McCandless, offer a fresh, practical way to collaborate. These 33 simple microstructures help any group unlock the insights and contributions of everyone involved. In this hands-on meetup, you’ll experience how they bring energy, trust, and collective intelligence to life.
Topic of this meetup
During this meetup, we’ll explore Wise Crowds. This Liberating Structure helps people tap into a group's collective wisdom to tackle real challenges, explore possibilities, and discover new approaches.
One participant presents a challenge they’re facing and asks the group for help. After a few clarifying questions, the consultants share their ideas, experiences, and advice while the person seeking help simply listens. It's a powerful way to gain fresh perspectives, uncover possibilities, and help each other make progress on real challenges.
What to expect
- Practice the original Wise Crowds steps.
- Try out different tweaks and variations.
- Learn how to combine it with other Liberating Structures.
- Exchange experiences, ideas, and insights with others.
- As a bonus, we'll use other LS to explore Wise Crowds.
