Description

The purpose of Generative Relationships STAR is to help a group understand how they work together and identify changes that they can make to improve group performance. All members of the group diagnose current relationship patterns and decide how to follow up with action steps together. The STAR compass tool becomes even more powerful when you use it frequently. After a first diagnosis, you can evaluate the progress you make as a group and see if things are actually improving. What is made possible? You can help people access hidden knowledge such as feelings, attitudes, and patterns that are difficult to express with words. When people are tired, their brains are full, and they have reached the limits of logical thinking, you can help them evoke ideas that lie outside logical, step-by-step understanding of what is possible. Stories about individual or group transformations can be told with five easy-to-draw symbols that have universal meanings. The playful spirit of drawing together signals that more is possible and many new answers are expected. Drawing Together cuts through the culture of overreliance on what people say and write that constrains the emergence of novelty. It also provides a new avenue of expression for some people whose ideas would otherwise not surface. Computer tablets can be used instead of paper for participants to learn how to tell a story with the five symbols on their tablets Invite participants to practice drawing the five symbols: circle, rectangle, triangle, spiral, star person. 5 min.

Apple Freeform, Google Jamboard and Microsoft Whiteboard, each explained briefly below, all allow you to draw and type on a virtual rectangular shaped space. This sort of unstructured sketching helps many people explore ideas or clarify concepts. When drawing with other people, these visual tools may help encapsulate or explain essential points and sequences. min) Invite everyone to draw the first version of the story of their personal journey. Encourage participants to include the challenges, special moments, and surprises they faced while moving forward. Emphasize that drawing should take place in silence and without words or other symbols. Participants can use the same symbols multiple times. Don’t explain the intention of this structure too much, trust the creativity of the participants. Drawing Together can serve as a powerful Liberating Structure to get everyone’s thinking started about the team or group. Invite everyone to draw their teams' journey and include the challenges they faced. Or draw the current state of the team. Optionally, share the drawing via Impromptu Networking or a simple 1–2–4-ALL, and afterward create the team compass. 8. Connect “Drawing Together” to “Heard, See, and Respected” The system offers templates grouped into nine categories: Brainstorming (five templates), Problem solving (eight templates), Design and research (another eight), Strategy (10), Project planning (12), Retrospective (eight), Games (three), Workshops (two) and Learning (19). When you select a template, the system fills the board with various lines, shapes and text, which you may then delete, move or modify as desired. What’s your experience with collaborative boards?Conversation Café encourages people to listen and understand each other’s perspectives on a profound, shared topic or challenge instead of trying to convince or persuade others to see it your way. Sitting in a circle with a simple set of agreements and a talking object, small groups engage in consecutive rounds of dialogue. Conversation Cafe invites people to listen to one another’s thoughts and reflect together on a shared challenge.

People who use a macOS system alongside an iPhone or iPad may choose to take a photo, scan a document or add a sketch using one of those nearby devices from within Freeform on macOS. The nearby device auto-switches to the selected mode as long as you have Bluetooth enabled and are signed in to the same Apple ID on both systems. Best business software As remote work becomes increasingly common, turn to these drawing tools when you need to scribble and show people something that may be difficult to describe with words. Each of these drawing systems pairs well with the respective platform’s video-conferencing system, too: Freeform with FaceTime, Jamboard with Google Meet, and Whiteboard with Microsoft Teams. When you’re done with a drawing, you may export your board, either as an image (Google Jamboard and Microsoft Whiteboard) or PDF (Apple Freeform and Google Jamboard) for long-term reference.Collaboration tools on each of these three major platforms let you draw, type, add images and much more.

Figure A Apple Freeform can leverage distinctive features of devices. Here, the drawing tools in Freeform on an iPad Mini are used to create a sketch that will then be inserted into Freeform on a MacBook Air. Ask the whole group, “Together, what do the drawings reveal?” Use 1-2-4-All with larger groups. 5 min. min) Introduce the purpose of Drawing Together. Get participants comfortable with both drawing and the language by drawing the five symbols one by one. A triangle represents a goal. A rectangle represents support. A spiral represents change or transformation. A star person represents a relationship and the circle represents wholeness. With a virtual session, make sure to have these symbols available in a shared workspace. Apple Freeform, an app included as part of an iOS, iPadOS and macOS systems update in mid-December 2022, provides a versatile visual collaboration space, with support not only for drawn lines and typed text but also insertion of a wide range of images, files and shapes. Figure B Google Jamboard not only supports all sorts of collaboration tools on a standard board; it also allows you to add up to 20 additional frames.Christiaan Verwijs already shared his thoughts on Drawing Together a couple of years ago in this article. In the meantime, I gained new ideas, learned important lessons, and discovered powerful connections with other structures. I’ll share them in this blog post. You can view work from these sessions by searching for #DrawingTogetherGM on most social media platforms. Remind participants that the drawing is not the object by saying, “Refined drawing skills are not required—get over your need for perfection! Childlike drawing looks playful and captures the imagination of others!”

Attribution: Liberating Structure developed by Henri Lipmanowicz and Keith McCandless. Inspired by David Sibbet ( The Grove) and Angeles Arrien (see Signs of Life). Invite participants to combine the symbols to create the first draft of a story, working individually and without words, about “the journey” of working on a challenge or an innovation. 10 min. For visual facilitation of a meeting or conference, where drawings are created as the conversation unfoldsOn iPhone, you may draw lines with a finger, while on iPad you may use an Apple Pencil or other supported stylus. Freeform lets you select and insert shapes, which include not only geometric shapes, but also people, devices, symbols and more. Tove Jansson’s paintings and literature inspire me. Her art is full of messages of equity and justice among creatures (humans, Moomins, other) of all types. Some of these messages, for example on gender diversity, were revolutionary in her time in the 1940s to 1970s. Chalkboard and dry erase boards on a wall still retain one key advantage over these virtual alternatives: Persistence. In a room, anything scribbled on a board remains in view, whether you choose to engage with it or not. That sort of ambient display on a board can be quite useful if you use these boards to engage with ideas over time. As always, I’m eager to learn from your experiences as well. How have you used Drawing Together? What works best for you? What other strings of Liberating Structures have you tried? Let’s learn and grow, together! About Drawing Together
