Last week, I attended Structure Lab , a half-day workshop on legal and financial structures for ventures for social good. The Structure Lab is set up as a "game" in which you explore cards in various categories (values, assets, financing, etc.) to better articulate what you are really trying to do with your project concept.

This post shares some of the most interesting questions I''ve heard throughout these experiences.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. It is a useful technique for creating a more responsive, flexible organizational culture as well as coming up with more innovative ideas for programs and grants that are a good fit. How might we be complicit in preserving power or dispersing it?

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively." If new programs are sufficiently different from the traditional ones, they may be more effective as standalone program tracks than as gateways to the traditional experience.

The VSA has replaced their keynotes with structured group dialogue. But the VSA has taken an intentional approach to these structured conversations with the goal of putting the (arguably) best part of conferences—the side conversations and hallway discussions—front and center. But will the conversations improve the overall experience?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a bad experience working with a group of people to make a decision. It often takes clarity of roles and purview and even some structure to do that. Group decision-making doesn’t have to be a difficult, long, and painful experience. New to Participatory Grantmaking? Most of us have.

Now, NYSCI is experimenting in a new medium, with a very tough and adult content focus. We engaged with the Sloan Foundation, a leading funder in public understanding of science, who made a first time grant to NYSCI to plan the project. I was struck by how this is partly interactive, but within a structured, linear narrative.

The process is well-designed to remind participants what will be asked of them and how to meet the criteria, and the V&A provides participants with legal terms and conditions explaining that you are granting the museum a non-exclusive license to your contributed content. Maybe that's where all great museum experiences live.
