Hi Jaime,
I would start at the beginning: What is the exact goal of the day? Why should these people of different companies build a team? Do they have a goal in the future together or is it just about the fun?
All the best,

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).

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]

Hi Marcos,
Here are several suggestions:
1. Focus on topics such as trust, cooperation, decision making, and risks / benefits.
2. How would the optimal team work well together?
3. Build a model of what the team currently looks like (feels about “teamness”), then move to what is should look like.Best of luck,
–Michael

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.

Rodrigo Borgia replied to the topic Non-certified facilitators in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 6 months ago
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]

irene replied to the topic Non-certified facilitators in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 6 months ago
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, 6 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]
