Thanks Koen, I have passed it on!

Please have a look at

Build to express was the old education version of LSP for children. It is discontinued by Lego, but the material is still available.

I’m assuming you already have behavioral indicators set for the competencies you want to measure. given that there is no “wrong answer” in LSP, the best LSP can do here is to try and elicit these behaviors in a group setting. From there, an independent observer/rater should be able to assess the level of the competency being measured. So LSP usage…[Read more]

Indeed. I have the same questions. But we need to make sure that we understand the exact meaning of the word “assessment” here. So Parag, can you please elaborate:
– Will this be an individual task or a group task? Will people use LSP together or alone?
– Who will assess? The participants? Will they assess themselves or each other?
– How would…[Read more]

Unless there is a “right answer” for the assessment, I’m not sure how it would work. Given that LSP includes the premise that there are no wrong answers, it would be difficult to objectively assess any competancy.

On the other hand, I think LSP is a great tool for exploring all aspects of an idea like customer-centricity, and what it means to…[Read more]

Hi Parag,

What I have done occasionally during a workshop is using 10×1-pin LEGO plates for measurements (see the image) to assess the agreement/disagreement with the shared model buildings or their components. Would this work. Or can you please elaborate – you might have something else in mind?

Thanks Dieter, appreciated.

If anyone else has links to workshop resources for kids, involving LEGO as a tool/process, that would be useful too.

Thanks

This is great article. I am so grateful to you and Mr. Victor. I will frame this part: ‘The story of LSP is one of the sweat, tears and frustration but also the passion, engagement and courage to be different that go into entrepreneurship. It is also a story of persistence.’ As one of facilitator, I am also passionate about methodology. Your…[Read more]

Brilliant Johan! Thanks for reminding us of the deep and diverse theoretical roots of LSP.
Our time at the Imagination Lab in Lausanne was always memorable and remarkable — thank you for your patience with a simple American as we brought LSP into the world.
It is astonishing to me that LSP started as *strictly* a 3-day “Real Time Strategy” works…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing guys. This is interresting.

Like @denisemeyerson Thank you Johan, this is a super read and has helped me understand so much more about the brilliant method you and Prof Bart created. As one of the many professional facilitators who use the method, my clients and workshop participants are grateful to have their stories heard. I believe it was Einstein who said “If At First t…[Read more]

This is a superb article. Thank you for the detailed explanations and the background. What a wonderful gift you have given to so many people – transformed lives and changed the way in which teams ‘play’ together.

Hi Thierry,

Not involving LSP, but MIT Solve, a marketplace for social impact, has some programs that target kids in Bangladesh.

Gargoyle Software also put together a page on the Exploration Bag:

I find in general that it is possible to do a version of the Starter Kit exercises with the Explorer bag, but on a smaller scale. The Tower exercise translates fine, and there are at least two distinct ways of making a duck…[Read more]

Dr. Dann, you are a ROCK STAR! Thank you for sharing your incredible resources. You’ve saved my bacon. With gratitude, K

PS – Fantastic white paper, too.
