How would you facilitate something that doesn’t exist? Or, more to the point, how you would facilitate a group in a way that something inexistent could emerge?Complexity and uncertainty make up most days for Jason Frasca and Iain Kerr. As co-founders of Emergent Futures Lab, they wouldn’t have it any other way.The opportunity to hear from two experts in emergence, innovation, and facilitation felt like an early Christmas present! We explore what it takes to create space for genuine innovation and novelty, why collaboration and creativity are natural partners, and how to take our focus off of ‘ideas’ and onto experimentalism.Find out about:How facilitators can create a space for emergence, rather than ideasWhether we can teach something that doesn’t yet existHow to integrate provocation and perturbation into your facilitation toolkitWhy power structures need to change for novel ideas to emergeHow creativity, emergence, and collaboration feed each otherHow to get comfortable with experimental thinking and step back from our obsession with ‘ideas’Don’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Emergent Futures Lab publishes a weekly newsletter answering the questions: What is Innovation? and How to Innovate?
