The New Liberating Structures Menu

For Episode 14 of transform together, Johannes Schartau talks to
Keith McCandless, co-developer of Liberating Structures, about the
biggest expansion of the Liberating Structures menu since the
publication of The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures. Keith
shares what has changed, why the new Liberating Structures
Fieldbook brings the experience of the global practitioner
community into the repertoire, and how ten new structures deepen
the possibilities for working with groups, strategy, relationships,
and change. The conversation also explores the principles behind
Liberating Structures, the role of minimum specifications, the
limits of traditional whole-system change, and why Keith believes
real transformation starts by shifting the patterns of interaction
at the smallest relational level. Along the way, Johannes and Keith
discuss complexity, adjacent possibilities, Creative Commons, the
future growth of the Liberating Structures repertoire, and the
experiments in the global community that currently excite Keith
most.
