Liberating Structures Meetup: What, So What, Now What?

Liberating Structures, created by Henri Lipmanowicz and Keith McCandless, offer a fresh, practical way to collaborate. These 33 simple microstructures help any group unlock the insights and contributions of everyone involved. In this hands-on meetup, you’ll experience how they bring energy, trust, and collective intelligence to life.

Topic of this meetup

During this meetup, we’ll explore What, So What, Now What? This Liberating Structure helps groups make sense of experiences and turn reflection into meaningful action.

Together, we’ll start by looking at the facts: What happened? From there, we’ll explore what those observations mean: So what? Finally, we’ll identify practical next steps: Now what? Whether you’re reflecting on a workshop, project, experiment, or any other experience, this simple structure helps groups move beyond opinions and toward shared understanding and concrete action.

What to expect

• Practice the original What, So What, Now What steps.
• Try out different tweaks and variations.
• Learn how to combine it with other Liberating Structures.
• Exchange experiences, ideas, and insights with others.
• As a bonus, we'll use other LS to explore W3.
