Selected for you

Start with one of these structures in the Strategize category

The Strategize category helps you explore possible directions and make intentional choices. These structures support you in weighing options, values, and priorities.

Strategizing alone is not about predicting outcomes.
It’s about choosing a direction that fits who you are and where you are now.

Use Strategize when you want focus, direction, or alignment in your next steps.

How to use (and adapt) these structures

Liberating Structures are originally created to work with groups and the different voices that live inside groups. But it turned out that they also work great to guide the conversation with the different voices that live inside you. The magic trick: use templates to follow the questions and always write down your answers. Just ask yourself the right questions, learn to listen and include different views and search for patterns.

Ecocycle Planning

Identify what to stop, start, accelerate, or redesign in your life or to address a lack of focus, prioritization, or strategic clarity.

Critical Uncertainties

Learn to work constructively with ambiguity, surface hidden assumptions about the future, and craft flexible strategies that remain effective across wildly different scenarios. It transforms uncertainty from a source of anxiety into a canvas for creative, adaptive planning.

Min Specs

Clarify your non-negotiable values or actions. By separating the “musts” from the implicit “nice-to-haves,” you often discover that many barriers are self-imposed. Removes clutter, reduces over-engineering, exposes false constraints, and reveals the essential conditions that enable progress.
