The document introduces Liberating Structures (LS), which are simple group activities designed to include more people in shaping the future. It provides an overview of LS and then demonstrates several specific LS, including:
- Impromptu Networking, which allows people to rapidly share challenges while building connections.
- 1-2-4-All, where participants generate ideas alone, then in pairs, groups of 4, and finally all together, focusing on the best ideas.
- TRIZ, where participants identify counterproductive behaviors and ways to "stop" them to make space for innovation.
- 15% Solutions, which focuses on small actions anyone can take now using their current resources and authority.
Intro to Liberating Structures - Making Meetings Suck LessZachary Cohn
Wonful ran a workshop for the State of Washington's Department of Retirement Services on using Liberating Structures to brainstorm, work as groups, and make meetings suck less!
Slides and harvest from a webinar I facilitated for the Mid Atlantic Facilitators Network on February 7, 2104. This is a cleaned up version of the slides with the chat notes processed into the slides as a "harvest" of people's inputs and participation
You will learn how to facilitate the discussions your org needs and your org will learn how to have constructive dialogs. I am going to demonstrate how to use these techniques in the workshop. And all the attendees are going to be fully immersed and ready to wield their new knowledge the very next day at work.
Come learn how to help your team(s), org(s), and company(ies)!!!

Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.
If you work in Scrum environment or you’re just a team member who is trying to guide a conversation – then these interactive facilitation techniques are for you. In this session focus will be on games which you could use in virtual environment.
This presentation was given at a Design Thinking workshop as part of Philly Tech Week 2017. Topics covered include an intro to design thinking, a User Journey mapping activity, and a Team Design Challenge.
Mark Grove presented on Cumulative Flow Diagrams at the DC Scrum User Group. Video and slides available at https://www.kaizenko.com/washington-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract:
The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD). Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Maybe you’ve been told it can help you better understand the flow of work, identify bottlenecks, and get a sense how long work items will take to complete. It sounds intriguing, but…how exactly do you read it? What is it trying to tell you? How can you use it to improve your team’s flow? Perhaps you’re a Scrum team using a traditional burndown chart. Could the CFD be more helpful?
In this part lecture, part workshop presentation, we’ll take a closer look at what a CFD is, how it’s constructed, and, most importantly, how to interpret what you’re observing. Being able to identify patterns in your CFD is a valuable skill to better understand how work is flowing across your Scrum or Kanban board. We’ll then examine several CFD patterns you might see with your teams while addressing three key questions: What are you observing? Why might it be happening? and What actions might you suggest for improvement?

Slides for Agile2019 Retrospective with Liberating Structures. Include slides publicly shared in Liberating Structure community as well as custom session design (string) and questions created for Agile2019 conference retrospective
How to re-frame business problems to customer-centric opportunity spaces that drive value. Design thinking is your shortcut to customer empathy. A good understanding on how this method could help you identify real customer problems and unmet needs is essential. Moreover we will share techniques and tools that you can implement directly after this crash course. Start inventing the future.
Analysis In Agile: It's More than Just User StoriesKent McDonald
A common question asked by teams adopting agile is "what does business analysis look like in agile?" The common answer is "writing user stories".
WRONG!
Okay, maybe not wrong, but certainly not the whole story (pardon the pun). Business analysis in agile is concerned with understanding the problem and possible solutions in order to ensure the team is building the right thing. User stories can be helpful, but are certainly not sufficient for doing that.
In this session, Kent McDonald describes how you can perform just enough business analysis to discover the right things to build. This includes how to really use value to decide what to build first, why process flows, data models, and mockups are still extremely helpful, and why the function of user stories is more important than their form.
Along the way, Kent shares examples from a system replacement project he is working on and suggests ways you can apply these techniques to your own projects.

Haven’t heard of Liberating structures before? It’s alright, the majority of us haven’t.
But then, have you ever been to long meetings where you had to stay silent throughout? Although meetings are an inevitable part of getting the best ideas and your teams together, they can also be toxic killing productive hours if not properly structured.
What if there were methods for you to optimize your meetings into idea-machines with total engagement and shorter durations? That’s something that all of us who attend meetings should know in the first place - that’s exactly what Liberating Structures does.
Liberating Structures is an innovative concept that could disrupt the way companies hold meetings today. These are simple structures designed to facilitate meetings based on the participants focussed on results.
Get immersive at the hands-on workshop on the essentials of Liberating Structures at the 75th Palladium edition of FAYA:80. Learn how you can transform your team meetings into idea generation camps and a platform for engaged discussions from Mr. Cipson Thomas, an experienced Agile coach and Liberating Structures evangelist.
Join in for the discussion if you strongly believe that meetings could be made better. The session will be immensely beneficial for all enthusiasts, programmers, managers and all others who have attended meetings before and would like to get introduced to transform their meetings into better-engaged discussions.
Liberating Structures are easy-to-learn structures that enhance relational coordination and trust. They introduce tiny shifts in the way we meet, plan, decide and relate to one another. They quickly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include and unleash everyone.
Liberating the Organization - one meeting at a timeAnja Ebers
On April 12, 2018 we explored the org-changing potential of micro-structures together with the MeetUp group Designing the Organization (https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/designing-the-organization/events/249114700/).
I wanted to give a taste for what becomes possible when you design the conditions for human interaction.
I wanted to inspire people to enhance their repertoire for the time when in group.
And we shared stories from the field and heard how Liberating Structures informed larger-scale changes.
Start liberating your org - one meeting at a time!

No matter if you just have colleagues or organize people as a team lead or senior developer: There are some mechanics that apply to any mentally healthy human being and that have to be taken into consideration when you want to achieve good results as a team. This talk tries to give you a easy but valid introduction to some scientific findings about the nuts and bolts of brains and souls of the biggest investment your company probably has made: your teams.
Creating strong & passionate agile communities of practiceAllison Pollard
Everyone hits a challenge at some point in adopting agile and belonging to a larger community can help you overcome those challenges. Whether you call it a tribe, a user group, or a community of practice, having a group of people to share ideas with and learn from is a valuable tool to further your personal development and maintain your sanity. Learn about what communities of practice are, how to start them, and why they’re an important part of growing agile.
Evolving Changes of Leadership: Navigating ComplexityLeland Sandler
cAs companies grow, and as leaders take on higher levels of responsibility, they must deal with more and more complexity. Not just a complicated set of problems, but often unpredictable, overwhelming complexity; with lots of moving parts, many interrelated forces, and a whole host of perspectives and opinions of the stakeholders around them. Consequently, leaders need to be ever more agile and fluid in navigating the challenges and uncertainties of their world. Leaders need to think differently so that they can act differently.
This presentation helps managers develop coaching strategies that bring out the best in their employees, by understanding the psychological needs that people bring to the workplace.
rawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He demonstrates that while carrots and sticks worked successfully in the twentieth century, that’s precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today’s challenges. In Drive, he examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose—and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action.
Any decision that requires more than one person involves some level of negotiation. We all negotiate as part of our jobs, but few of us have consciously thought through negotiation strategies. At this program you’ll learn a step-by-step process for approaching any negotiation, leaving you better prepared to create outcomes that meet the interests of all parties.
Is your email piling up faster than you can deal with it? Are you struggling to find the messages you need, when you need them? Not sure how to deal with the pesky people in your life that overuse email, making more work for you without adding any value? Or perhaps you’re dimly aware that Gmail has features that would help you stay organized and focused, but you have no idea where to begin? At this program, you’ll learn:
A system for efficiently processing email into prioritized tasks
How to use gmail’s functionality to help you get and stay organized
Strategies for dealing with common email problems
Establishing meaningful, challenging goals is an essential skill for any manager. Research shows that such goals motivate employees and improve performance. At this practical, hands-on session, you’ll learn how to develop and articulate goals that set you and your employees up for success. By the end of the session, you’ll come away with a working draft of a set of goals for one of your employees, which you’ll be able to use as a model for writing goals for the rest of your team.
More is being asked of us than ever before. We’re deluged with email and other inputs, all of which have to be dealt with somehow. At the end of the day, we may wonder what we did with our time, and whether it was well spent. At this program, you’ll start new habits of thought and action that will make you more productive, engaged, and confident that you’re making the best use of your time.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
