How to use Liberating Structures to revolutionise your meetings

In March last year, the UK’s Government Digital Service stopped having meetings. While this may seem like a dream come true, they found that along with the benefits there were also significant drawbacks to this way of working.

Luckily, there is a way to improve meetings without getting rid of them entirely: Liberating Structures. Liberating Structures are a selection of 33 alternative structures for facilitating meetings and conversations. They disrupt typical meeting styles which tend to be unproductive, dry and largely performative by providing alternative ways of working together.

In this workshop we’ll walk you through some of these facilitation techniques and show you how you can apply them yourselves. You’ll hear from practitioners on the benefits of using Liberating Structures, including promoting inclusivity and unleashing creativity, and how to embed them into your workplace culture.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• What the term Liberating Structures actually means
• The benefits of using Liberating Structures in your work
• How to use Liberating Structures to make your meetings more productive

WHO SHOULD WATCH:

This is for anyone who either hosts or attends meetings and wants to learn how to make them better.
