Redesigned SeriousPlayPro.com Website

March 18, 2012 in Generic Discussion

Our Serious Play Pro community website celebrates its 2nd birthday. Starting up as a small website for a few enthusiasts a year ago the average number of daily unique visits to the SeriousPlayPro.com website was just 10-30 hits. In the past 3-4 months we have reached the average of 50-60 daily hits. Since the beginning of 2012 there have already been several days where more than 100 unique visitors have been to our community website. Not bad!

In order to improve the website performance for this increased number of visitors we have spent some hours during past couple of weeks in redesigning and streamlining. To the outside you may see that the difference is minor. Only the layout looks somewhat modernized. Most changes have happened to the engine that is located in the server side. However, these changes also affect a couple of issues at the front-end.

  1. We have disabled the Facilitator Database page because of a security vulnerability. I.e. for the time being we won’t have a public list of who is certified facilitator and who is not. If you want to know where somebody could come and help you then just go ahead and ask us. And for our certified facilitators – I hope that this will call for more active and interesting contributions – as this will be your chance to shine and attract more attention of the clients. :-)
  2. To increase the speed of the website we disabled a module that allowed picture gallery slideshows. However, it is still possible to use photos on individual posts and on profile pages.
  3. We have revised the events module. Those of you – certified facilitators who have the right to add events: after logging just go to: http://seriousplaypro.com/events/ and select “Add an event” from the bottom. Fill the blanks (Title, Description, Date/Time, Location), press Publish and voila!
  4. From the previous individual posts of LSP-related library we have generated a single page of LSP-related books: http://seriousplaypro.com/about/books/ - Should you have some good ideas what books to add then just comment for the community.

Let us know what do you think!

Developing scenarios with the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology

September 3, 2010 in News and Events

I will be offering this workshop as a “pre-conference” workshop to this years Pegasus Systems Thinking Conference in Boston (I will also do short workshop on conference). Here is what Pegasus write on their website (http://pegasus.prod.ifpeople.net/pre-post-conference/pre-conference-workshops):

Scenarios are carefully constructed stories about how the world around us might—not will, not should—unfold over the years ahead. Scenario thinking challenges our mindsets about what could possibly happen so that we are able to develop robust strategies in an unpredictable and uncertain context. This seemingly simple yet sophisticated tool has a solid track record in improving the quality of strategic conversations and outcomes both within organizational teams and in multi-stakeholder, cross-organizational groups. By integrating the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY™ method into the scenario construction process, we engage more than just our heads, but also our hearts and hands, enabling us to make our thinking more explicit, the stories we create more powerful, and our actions more effective.

In this workshop, you will:

  • Be introduced to the hows and whys of scenario thinking
  • Experience the unique LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method
  • Discover the rigor and value of using the process to make scenario thinking clearer and more explicit, leading to better strategy
  • Apply these tools to your own specific strategic challenges

For more info feel free to contact me, or even better, register on the Pegasus website

SeriousPlayPro.com website is up

January 24, 2010 in Generic Discussion

During our LEGO SERIOUS PLAY training sessions at Billund with Per Kristiansen and Jacquie Lloyd Smith our group came to conclusion that it would be of utmost importance that we set up an impartial community website that connects certified SERIOUS PLAY facilitators.
After some initial exchanges of information the core of the website - SERIOUSPLAYpro.COM has been set up. Welcome!

SeriousPlayPro.com Logo

SeriousPlayPro.com Logo

It is obviously still at beta testing mode so if you identify any links that do not work or propose some new functions then do not hesitate to contact us.
