What are LiberatingStructures?

Liberating Structures(LS) are simple social technologies and tiny methods that disrupt conventionalpatterns in how we work together. Taken individually, each of the 33+methods changes the way results are generated by a group. As a repertoire ofcomplementary methods, they address many chronic challenges faced by groups.

When LS are introduced,many familiar approaches that people use all the time — presentations, opendiscussions, managed discussions, status reports, and brainstorms — become lessattractive or fade away. LS make it possible to immediately and productivelytap a group’s creative intelligence and generative potential. The precise andminimum way each LS is specified makes it possible for anyone to quickly startusing them. LS remove the mystery behind effective participatory leadership,group facilitation, and hosting dynamic processes. Prepare to be surprised!
