Do you want people to feel part of a group/team or part of an activity? Then ensure that they are included and engaged.
Do you find facilitating a large group of people unmanageable, people disengaged? Try Liberating Structures with your teams and organization.

Liberating Structures, created by Keith McCandless and Henri Lipmanowicz, covers a set of easy to learn, yet powerful ways to collaborate as a team. It makes it possible to build the kind of meeting that everybody looks forward to attending and participating.

Participants learn how to use these micro-structures to simplify meeting outcomes, help group collaborate and become more productive.

Organizations need a way to test new ideas and fast, kill ideas that don’t work and iterate on the ones that show more promise. In 2017, Ideo studied innovation in over 100+ companies and found that when teams iterate on five or more different solutions, they are 50% more likely to launch a product or service successfully. The practice of continuous product improvement and innovation is a cycle of experimentation, where teams rapidly test leap-of-faith assumptions and get evidence to support key business decisions, ultimately, helping to build consensus and collaborate more effectively with stakeholders. A common challenge is having the discipline to identify, test and track progress towards innovation and making the cycle of experimentation and learning a key practice on any team. Join us to hear more about how your organization and team can adopt an experimentation mindset and embed the practice of experiment-driven product innovation. Carlos Oliveira, principal consultant at adaptiveX will speak on the topic and walk us through the Product Innovation Canvas as well as the Innovation Kata, a process to help teams think big, start small, and take the necessary steps to learn more about their customers, and start solving real problems sooner.
