Tools and Resources
It is important to master different tools, but the tools
always need to be combined, reinvented and applied to the context.
Below is a collection of some of the tools and methods used in
LearningHouse. We find ways to connect and develop new versions of
long-lived methods.
Appreciative Inquiry
Developed by David L. Cooperrider and Diana Whitney,
Appreciative Inquiry is about "the coevolutionary search for the best
in people, their organizations, and the relevant world around them." > Appreciative Inquiry Commons
'Ba'-shared space
'Ba' is a shared context in motion in which knowledge is created,
shared, and utilized (Nonaka, Toyama, and Konno, 2000) and can be used
as a principle for organising a place or a learning process. An article
by Nonaka & al.: > Building Ba to Enhance Knowledge
Creation and Innovation at Large Firms
Dialogue
David Bohm originated a related form of dialogue where a group of
people talk together in order to explore their assumptions of thinking,
meaning, communication, and social effects. This group consists of ten
to thirty people who meet for a few hours regularly or a few continuous
days. Dialoguers agree to leave behind debate tactics that attempt to
convince and, instead, talk from their own experience on subjects that
are improvised on the spot. "Dialogue is a method where a group becomes
open to the flow of a larger intelligence." - David Bohm
Learning Organisation and
Organisational Learning Disciplines
Peter Senge defines learning organisations as "organizations where
people continually expand their capacity to create the results they
truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are
nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are
continually learning to see the whole together." >
Society for Organisational Learning
Multimedia & graphic facilitation
Multimedia and graphic facilitation is a dynamic way of creating a
powerful learning event and capture the knowledge by visuals. >
Bigger Picture
Open Space
Open Space Technology is a method originally designed by
Harrison Owen which allows maximum participation in a learning event. >

Presencing and the U-theory
"Presencing is a social technology for collectively leading profound
change. It is based on Theory U, which illuminates a blind spot in
leadership and social experience: the source or the inner place from
which leaders and systems operate." - Otto Scharmer >
Presencing
Strategic Learning Contract
A powerful self-managed learning tool developed by Ian Cunningham.
> Centre for Self-managed Learning
World Café
World Café is a creative process for leading collaborative
dialogue, sharing knowledge and creating possibilities for action in
