Eli,

James asked for recommendations. I offered some recommendations of people I know, who are both trained LSP facilitators, and agile practitioners. I leave it up to James to determine if the people are a fit for his purposes. As he’s not said what the event is ands what precisely he’s looking for, then I trust that he can ask these people for…[Read more]

Hi Bruce,
While Jens has been closely attached to the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY community for about ten years now and both he and Katrin Elster, who is a co-organiser of Play4Agile, are certified LSP facilitators, there is no guarantee that everything that Jens and Katrin introduce to the Agile community under the brand name Strategic Play is necessarily…[Read more]

James,

if you want more direct connection with agile and LSP then these people are trained in both, and are people I know in the agile community.

Olaf Lewitz
Steven Holyer
Jens Hoffmann Jens is also half of the StrategicPlay team in Hamburg.
All of them can do what you need and work in the agile field on a daily basis and also speak and run…[Read more]

Beautiful idea!

James,

I can help you out. I’m a trained LSP facilitator, who uses this and other games with my students for teaching software development, and also in my clients in my consulting work. While I’ve not worked as a coach of a team, I am familiar with what they do from conversations and collaborating with them at agile coach camps and the ALE…[Read more]

Patrizia – happy to create it. What would you like me to call it and who else besides you would I appoint as the moderator of the forum?

BTW, I’m not suggesting that you can’t or shouldn’t use LSP in an Agile project. Far from it. In fact, the more people using LSP, the merrier. My concern is related to branding and quality. How can an honest client with a certain budget ensure that his or her funds achieve the intended objectives, if there is no guarantee on what is being…[Read more]

Hi James,
You are not the first person to use Agile and LSP in the same breath. In April at a Project Management conference, I was talking with a guy who ran a one and a half hour session on LSP and Agile. What bothered me was that he had only seen “LSP” once, at another conference and instantly thought he could lecture on the subject. He…[Read more]

Ok!

Dear Marcos,
I seem to remember 4 years ago, when we set up the community, there was some suggestion to use salesforce.com as a way to share business leads and leverage each other’s work. There were some fairly valid arguments against this, not least of which is the fact that many companies don’t want the world knowing that they have asked for…[Read more]

Gustavo,

Lego Serious Play is not a classic tool for personnel selection, but it certainly can help you to open people up during interview process. If you haven’t done so already then I suggest you to review the relevant case study of Omar Bermudez regarding the similar topic that he posted a year ago:…[Read more]
