summary
Lists 33 meeting formats at liberatingstructures.com and recommends the Lisa app to filter by intention, then shows concrete patterns that were tried: one two for all compresses 30-person discussion into ~15 minutes by 1/2/4-minute pairing then group sync, enforced with prepared timers and breakout rooms on Zoom/Teams; 25 10 crowdsourcing uses milling sticky notes and voting but fails in virtual boards; tris flips to inventing ways to destroy a product to reveal counterproductive habits; several methods produce distinct, actionable outcomes rather than vague conversation.
