Show Notes

"We're never gonna be on the same page. Once in a while, we'll be in the same chapter. We're lucky if we get in the same book."

In dieser Episode sprechen Anna Jackson und Fisher Qua mit Host Johannes Schartau über "Speculative Facilitation" – einen Ansatz, der bewusst mit Unsicherheit arbeitet, statt perfekte Kontrolle vorzutäuschen. Die beiden Liberating Structures-Pioniere teilen ihre Erfahrungen aus Jahren der Zusammenarbeit und erklären, wie ihre gemeinsame Praxis "Lucky Hunch" entstanden ist. Sie diskutieren, warum "gleichmäßig verteilte Enttäuschung" manchmal das beste Ergebnis eines Gruppenprozesses ist und wie sie mit dem Druck nach schnellen, einheitlichen Lösungen umgehen.

Johannes erfährt, warum echte Facilitation immer spekulativ ist, wie man mit der Illusion von Kontrolle umgeht und was passiert, wenn man Autorität und Gruppenintelligenz in Balance bringt.
