Hi Rick,

I never had the chance to meet Onno.
This said, is sorry to hear this news. And of course, a great way to honor him.

Rodrigo

Please allow me to suggest two alternatives, both complete team building games with powerpoint intro and play and debriefing packaged up into a bundle and one that uses LEGO scenes as communications tools. And, these are designed to be easily integrated with other content, using LEGO and LSP or not. Both are anchored in metaphor and both focus on…[Read more]

one additional tip: you can create a shared vision of the team in a short future (2 to 4 years).

Hi Jaime,

How much time in total do you have?

Have you thought that the warm-up in sort way can be considered as the beginning of a team building exercise? :)

Have fun,

Rodrigo

I would focus them on a task to improve something, a shared issue. We are playing with the design of a course around this kind of situation, so please allow me to share some ideas. If you want a LOT of details about how to run this, please contact me directly. I am also looking for people who might want to partner more closely on the design of…[Read more]

It is true, in the end the certification is not indicative of quality either. The important thing is the experience: the amount of workshops given, the shared skills, the successes and the failures obtained. Everything adds up and together we make it more powerful.

Honestly my concern came from a workshop that I have seen announced by a person…[Read more]

Alan and Rodrigo offer great comments. Let me add one more set of ideas:

I am one of those non-certified folks, but I also have 25 years focused exclusively on facilitation and went through the Certified Professional Facilitator (CPF) offering of the International Association of Facilitators and am also a Certified Professional Trainer (CPT) from…[Read more]

Hello Irene,

From my standpoint, as happens with this methodology happens with any other.

It depends on the ability of the facilitator to deliver a great workshop or a bad experience.
And of course, a good community support to enhance practices, knowledge and examples.

So, that said, there are other activities from Lego Education (such as Six…[Read more]

Thanks for your contributions Michael and Alan.
For what you say I understand that it is legal to do so, now my concern goes a little further: if they are people who have trained well on their own and use the methodology correctly, in the end it is to expand knowledge of LSP and that it suits us all.
My concern comes from a possible bad…[Read more]

Hi Marcos,
I always tell potential clients that team-building is an unavoidable by-product of the LSP process. Therefore it is better value and actually helps the process if the team can focus on a specific subject. The fact that they are German and Mexicans should only influence what language they use.

Activities you might want to consider…[Read more]

Pamela –

GREAT that things went well. And wonderful that you found a lot of information to mix and match to produce the session that you wanted.

What the GROUP might find helpful is an overview of what you actually did in enough detail that they might be able to reproduce key outcomes. Modeling is such a useful endeavor and we would all benefit…[Read more]

Years ago, using Tinker Toys, I would read from a list as to how an object was to be constructed, with commands such as,

– take a round, 8-hole wheel and put a 4-inch blue stick into the center hole
– on 4 of the holes in the rim of that wheel, put 2-inch yellow sticks.
– on the other 4 holes in the rim of that wheel, put 1-inch green sticks
-…[Read more]

Are there any anchoring frameworks to the issues of TRUST with this play?

Any ideas as to how to build in some accountability or interpersonal trust between people in play?

If you look globally at exercises and tools, there are only a few things like trust falls and trust walks that seem to be used to demonstrate these behaviors and patterns.
