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]

Hi Irene,
A worry shared is a worry halved ; )
Yes you are right. Bad execution has an impact on us all. That said, the accreditation does not guarantee good execution. As Rodrigo says, it comes from learning, sharing, failing, improving, experience etc.
Alan.

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 Irene,
As I understand it, anyone can use Lego bricks in their offerings as long as they do not infringe copyright or trademark rules or make it seem that they represent Lego in any shape or form and that applies to LSP offerings and non-LSP offerings. See here for guidelines on Trademark…[Read more]

Hello everyone.
I have a question that I would like to know if you could clarify me.
I am a certified facilitator of the LEGO® Serious Play methodology.
For a while now, I am seeing people from my environment and social networks, who are not certified and who offer support services with LEGO, to which they put another name, without using…[Read more] -
Scott Simmerman, Ph.D. CPF, CPT started the topic Stop-Motion Videos in a session in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 7 months ago
Has anyone tried to use the tools to create a storyline that the workshop participants could capture with one of the smartphone apps to create a stop-motion video to use during the training?
It seems like a pretty straightforward kind of thing to do, and I wonder if people have tried it. If so, any tips or ideas or cautions?

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 Franco replied to the topic Duck Workshop in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 8 months ago
Yes, I think it’s a great idea.
1. I ask the participant to imagine a duck.
2. Gave the partcipants the instruction step by step of how to build the duck (2 minutes).
2. I gave them a picture of the duck, and ask them to build the same duck as the image.
3. Just Build a duck.
4. Build as many ducks as they can in 3 minutes.The insight was…[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]

There is what looks to be an interesting conference on serious game play to be held near Dulles Airport (DC) in July. The program looks interesting and the cost is good and I am thinking of attending.

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

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.

Yep!
First step: asking part of the audience to create a duck, draw it and the pass the draw to the one in the left. And the other part of the audience, to NOT create the duck, just imagine it, list the steps to create the duck and pass to the left.
On the second step, each one builds the duck based on the instructions received.
On last, close…[Read more]
