Patrizia and Per,

Thanks to both of you for a great discussion. It might be indeed a good idea to gather in September and even spend some time on definition building. However, if we are unable to define the LSP for our purpose more precisely then I would say that there is nothing wrong with that either. If we are not too strict in our expression on what the method is or stands for, it allows for the community to be more innovative in trying out new things.

I would hardly think that Omar would have been open to share with us his ideas about using the LSP in job interview process if we would have said that “This is not LSP”. Also – the combination of LSP and Business Model Canvas probably falls under a similar category. And finally – Patrizia – your own ideas of interviewing people from Palestine would be “on a borderline” to some of what the LSP is or is not.

I understand that for many the notion of LSP is driven by the love of “the Brick”. However, not too long ago Pete Smith asked whether even the bricks are essential for the facilitation that would follow the principles of Lego Serious Play: http://seriousplaypro.com/2013/10/05/is-lego-vital-to-lego-serious-play/.

Looking at some interesting communities out there – there are many communities who thrive exactly because no singular preconceived notion or definition of their activities exist to frame their mind. I would say that it is also a great feature of our community that people hold different notions and definitions in their minds when they talk about the LSP and thereby allow innovative ideas to be born. What do you think?
