Beside what Eli’s wrote, I also make “matchmaking” events. Startups can meet, practice 1minute pitch, share problems…etc.

My solution was: select out few bricks (pencil cup/ unused parts: overall 2trays). I bought this “grandma trolley” + some boxes. Connect them with a hook. This package was below the limit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tefqzsmunebzwd/2015-03-16%2018.06.55.jpg?dl=0

On the airport I used this plastic foil what they provide. Worked for me, but depends.…[Read more]

Eli, I understand what you say and I agree with it 100%, but sadly the market in Eastern Europe ask for exact numbers (most of the time). Thinking in short term, profit maximalization, cutting spending wherever they can, almost 0 imagination, employees don’t matter, 0time for LEGO. It’s crazy… The tendency is getting better. In numbers: 1st year…[Read more]

Dear Luc!

I have the same problem time to time. What worked for me so far:

1. I always bring some pictures about a network, product development, where they can see the connections between the assets/ parts. What especially works is if you put these models onto a Business Model Canvas. Normally they know that, they see tons of connections (aka…[Read more]

Hi! Have you tried bricklink.com ? You can find basically everything there. Which part btw?

Hi Gabriel,

Suggestion of Bruce worked me just fine. Few weeks ago I was in similar situation like You, just different topic. My client reduced the time from 6 to less than 3hours, which was clearly not enough. What I did was kind of a show-off, I pointed out during the workshop what a longer facilitation can do, and why it would be…[Read more]

Hello Alan!

To be honest, I’m also not a fan of Duplo bricks. I was thinking the same, but users proove me wrong time to time. Although there are few ones like you described, most of them are using the animals/ bricks quite often and for complex models too. The animals/ windows are quite useful, so I will keep them in the set.
My thoughts was to…[Read more]

I’ve studied environmental science, but I think it really depends which area of science.

My personal opinion is that: in e.science LSP can be useful for developing measurement strategy or research strategy, or to “model” the possible outcomes. Sadly I have never seen a e.research where LSP was used.

@Eli: ah, ok, i get it now :) I’m quite sure you can use the sets multiple times if u want. There are only rules about the name and logo (beside LSP training docs/rules), I couldn’t find any other legal doc on TLG/LSP sites. To be honest I don’t understand why was it obligatory before to buy new sets every time.…[Read more]

@Jan: I have similar problems time to time. It also depends on the type of workshop you are facilitating and the sets you are using. So far my solutions:
1. sorting head: http://www.target.com/p/lego-sort-and-store-storage-bin-head/-/A-13718711
Collect left over bricks, sort out at home.

2. plastic bag + table: I always ask participants not to…[Read more]

@Marko – Yes, that’s the set. Book is quite interesting and have some nice ideas as well.

@Sebastian – according to my experiences for urban planning, building modelling (ideation) you might need more exact structures, less metaphors. The 21050 AS offers a more specific brickset, but it’s not about 1:1 models, not like other architecture sets.…[Read more]

Hi!

Have you ever used the Architecture (21050) set for LSP? I have the idea to extend it with some bricks from Identity kit, and somehow specify it for architectural needs…
