Re: Help mis-using Liberating Structures


 

Hi Mark

For performance focused orgs, where senior leadership and management does not listen/hear, the fish bowl worked very well, in my experience.? Happy to talk about this offline.

The method/s selected for your design?will depend on the specific goals of the client, in tandem with your guidance.

Largest volume of info in the shortest time would be a survey (possibly anonymous) but this is a step in the "listening" process.
Deep, authentic? dialogue in a short time...these parts you can customize based on the highlights from the data above.? An approach...

I paid attention?to equalizing participant?voices, and believe?there are a number of things that can be done in this regard.

Design depends on: How many people?? Online? How many sessions?? How long in total?? Purpose & objectives etc

Hope this helps a bit :)
Best

I fully understand that the request I'm about to make is a mis-use of Liberating Structures, also that this maybe the wrong forum. Nonetheless I will plow ahead.

I'm working with a client organization that has decided?it wishes to be more Agile. (I would prefer to say effective/resilient). One of things that have?come up is that their senior?management pays limited attention to what they say. They also note that their management likes to hear what consultants have to say. (Concerning).

So I offered to act as a lightning rod. They will share with me what challenges they see on their path to effectiveness/resilience (hmm micromanagement). I will rephrase so it's not attributable to them and management will hear.

Given that context?which LS would you mis-use to get the largest volume of information shared, with the greatest speed? I also want them to be inspired by each?other.
Side effect: I want to introduce them to the power of LS.?

My first thought was a fish bowl.?

What structure would you use?

Thanks
Mark
