Sean,

Thank you for sharing this. It is certainly not the first nor the last time when media pick on LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology. While the general public rarely cares about work in private sector, I have also delivered “play sessions” for governmental institutions at different countries, which has raised interest among media. Sometimes…[Read more]

I am absolutely sure this won’t be an issue. LEGO protects their rights over the LEGO logo aggressively, but never heard about a case when they went after an image of a LEGO construction.

I am also pretty sure there is no legal base for that – then, you couldn’t use photographs of your car, washing machine, whatever product either…

So, just…[Read more]

Hugues,

Not sure that I understand your question. Can you please elaborate with some examples what types of inputs are you looking from the community?

Kind regards,
Marko

Troverei molto difficile una facilitazione da remoto. Le informazioni necessarie a gestire in modo adeguato il processo sono molte di più di quelle ottenibili da una telecamera. Ma soprattutto le sensazioni che la presenza mi fornisce non sono legate esclusivamente alla vista. C’è quindi una profondità diversa nella facilitazione dal vivo.

Hi, I’ve also used the pencil pot challenge, but to explore leadership. Like Marko I’ve given the instructions to half the team and an objective to the other half. Those with the instructions build an identical product, those with an objective build something functional and innovative. I then ask ‘what type of leadership do you prefer?’ This…[Read more]

Hi Manuel.

Indeed, I have used pencil cup/letter dog exercise as a simple ice-breaker, but it is the most powerful in an instance where you have a relatively bureaucratic company looking for more flexibility. In those situations where the company past has fostered the truisms that the procedures, budgets and instructions are paramount. What I…[Read more]

Hi Ine, Hi Per
Thank you for your posts
looking forward meeting you (in september ?)
warm regards Hugues

its so rewarding to use LSP with special needs participants. Few months ago i had the opportunity to run team building workshop wjich it has 3 participants who were deaf. They had their own interpret which absolutely helped. the success of the workshop depended on the power of including these participants through allowing enough time…[Read more]

Hi Eli and Marko,

my 2 cents worth on this.

The ethics of being certified in LEGO Serious Play has become an issue for me also.

Originally I discovered LSP online and then got the open source documents and researched David Gauntlett, and other write ups on LSP. I then ran some workshops using LSP with some success, but then decided to learn…[Read more]

Hi Marko,
Thanks for raising this topic. I think your own personal story is a very eloquent one and perhaps significantly more powerful one than my own, which is similar.

I learnt about LSP in 2002 from Joyce Miller, who, as a freelance researcher and communications consultant working for the Imagination Lab in Lausanne, had just attended the…[Read more]

personally, I have started practicing with the methodology, although I have not been “certified” because of financial and logistical limitations. same with you Marko, most of my knowledge of the LSP method was acquired thru research, reading, and practice. I use it as another element in my toolbox, but I am definitely not teaching the method per…[Read more]
