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.

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]

Alan McShane replied to the topic Keep track on time for skills building in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 7 years, 11 months ago
Hi Sofie,
A couple of suggestions:
1) Limit the number of bricks for the tower building. give them the bottom and the top and tell them to choose only ten more. This will focus the building and might help to focus the stories too.
2) Give specific instructions (for example “tells us what you have built and what it says about you”) and stick to…[Read more] -

Great Idea Sean! I did something similar here in Madrid although I widened the net a little to deal with “Serious Play” in the broader sense and we already have two under our belt and they have been great sessions

Thanks for the comments and good to see you both have or have had similar thoughts and frustrations from time to time.
Balint – Your right that they prove us wrong regularly so they need to be there. Just comes down to observation and facilitation and reading if they are being “lazy as a dog” or not (had to get that one in)!

Alan McShane replied to the topic The Ultimate LSP demo! in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years, 8 months ago
Hi Patrizia,
Here`s a brief outline for a demo I have done a few times which works (at least for me):
1) One 2×1 red transparent
2) Two 1×4 any color but same as 3)
3) One 2×4 any color
4) One 2×3 curved any colorThese make a nice alternative to the duck bricks (at least for me) and in simple terms the challenges start off with animals, then…[Read more]

Alan McShane started the topic Duplo or No Duplo, that is the Question … in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years, 8 months ago
Hi All,
I´d be interested hear views and experiences on the use of Duplo and particularly the pre-built bricks (such as the animals). Every now and again, someone “builds” a made-to-measure metaphor in no time by just picking up one or two duplo bricks and voila – while the rest are digging deeper with their hands looking for answers on the…[Read more]

Thanks for this Omar! This is more food for thought and I like the approach a lot! Going to see what I can do with it.
Agile I have only touched on but the more I read and see, the more I like it.
