I think that with only 2 hours, you can just scratch the surface of how the team might come together around a common goal. Exercises like the duck and tower or bridge can be used for skill building, as well as to illustrate the differences in approaches and styles. You could then have them build a model of the ideal workplace by first creating the…[Read more]

Hi Kim,

You are welcome. :)

In my experience, I find that build instructions for the participants are not needed, although it is a good idea as a facilitator to know what is possible. As I noted above, most of the Starter Kit exercises translate well enough to the smaller Exploration Kits. Unlike the Starter Kit though, I have found it useful to…[Read more]

May be available through https://education.lego.com/en-us or maybe those particular ones are out of print? There are a number of other guides and lesson plans available, but I did not find anything that looked like 1:38 in the video.

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]

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]

I am a newly certified facilitator, so my experience is limited. He makes several points based on his reading and single morning interaction with a facilitator (who seems to be combining LSP with other things) in an attempt to put LSP in the “silly” category.

– Complains it’s not a serious thing, but balks at the idea of certification. Which do…[Read more]
