297 - Breaking Down Complexity with the Co- Founder of Liberating Structures with Henri Lipmanowicz

The author of the indomitable Liberating Structures joins me in the podcast chair this week - a book that has offered wisdom to facilitators from all four corners of the world, and built organisations from the ground up - the one, the only Henri Lipmanowicz!

So simple they feel alchemic, Henri’s 33 microstructures are a field guide for transformation. Small, no-nonsense shifts in how we work together, his methods set free ideas, build trust, and enable creativity and collective intelligence - so often stifled by conventional complexity.

Henri’s expertise is invaluable for every leader, facilitator, workplace, or community ready to change how they collaborate. Learn from the master himself in episode 297!

Find out about:

• The story behind Liberating Structures
• How LS create the conditions for emergence, innovation, collaboration and inclusivity
• Why conventional structures produce top-down meeting dynamics and limited participation
• How LS can transform virtual meetings by engaging and including every participant
• The importance of allowing intuition to organically guide a group
