Liberating Structures Facilitation Tools for Better Meetings E168
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Keith McCandless, co-author of 'The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures.' We dive deep into how liberating structures can create safe spaces for all voices in a room and make conversations more inclusive and engaging. Keith explains the concept of the 'collaborative muscle' and how these facilitation tools can replace traditional brainstorming and presentation methods. We discuss practical examples, including the Critical Uncertainties model and the 1-2-4-All method, and explore how these techniques can be applied in various settings, from business and education to personal development. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Story 00:55 Introducing Liberating Structures 01:02 Guest Introduction: Keith McCandless 02:14 The Concept of Collaborative Muscle 03:55 Liberating Structures: An Overview 07:31 Practical Applications and Audience 20:04 Writing the Book: The Journey 26:28 Deep Dive into Liberating Structures 33:34 The Power of Short Timings 34:49 Diverse Voices and Recombination 36:23 Creative Adaptation and Fast Timing 39:54 Critical Uncertainties and Scenario Planning 46:16 Liberating Structures in Practice 48:42 New Ideas and Structures 52:13 Developing New Structures 01:00:28 Conclusion and Future Directions ⚡️ In each episode, Paddy Dhanda deep dives into a new human Superpower to help you thrive in the age of AI.
