This site hosts text instruction to help blind people build LEGO Models.

On http://legoduckchallenge.tumblr.com/ they found 195 ducks.

Hi Rob,

I’ve used the Build to Express Kits. They’re great. In some respects they’re better than the starter kits. They have more of the little pieces like tools and a big base plate. But they don’t have the big duplo blocks that the starter kit does.

Overall they are a fine substitute when the starter kits aren’t available.

Hello Ariel,
I didn’t use connections or SGP in my workshop as time didn’t allow me, but I think it would be definitely a great idea to build the connections, agents and play scenarios to get the SGP. For this case, consider at least a 2-day-workshop.

Happy building!

Thank you very much ! it helps.

Hi Ariel I have used a similar approach though applied to processes in banks.
I used a LEAN and TRIZ Creativity Matrix Canvas for each group to:
1 Identify the current process chain and process components in the system to be improved.
2. Identify Process Waste, Redundancy, Inefficiency using LEAN 8 Waste Matrix
3. Using TRIZ, identify process…[Read more]

Also, do you use simple guiding principles ?

Thank you,

Hi Sebastian, thanks for sharing. It’s very helpful!:)

Hello Ariel,

This is an answer to your 2nd question. Only if the other methods are for ice-breaking, reactivating or relaxing after hours working, thinking, building, sharing, etc., then I might recommend it. Be careful not to take the group out of flow!

To your first question…

For an industrial process, you will have probably a mixture of…[Read more]

Hi Phek,

Mathematically it should be in the 10s or hundreds of thousands of combinations or permutations or possibly even more..
In reality in my experience if I ask 50 people to build ducks.. about 3 to 4 would be similar though not exactly so.

However all 50 are building a duck according to how their hands and minds sees a duck.

If you…[Read more]
