Dear Marcos,
I seem to remember 4 years ago, when we set up the community, there was some suggestion to use salesforce.com as a way to share business leads and leverage each other’s work. There were some fairly valid arguments against this, not least of which is the fact that many companies don’t want the world knowing that they have asked for…[Read more]

Gustavo,

Lego Serious Play is not a classic tool for personnel selection, but it certainly can help you to open people up during interview process. If you haven’t done so already then I suggest you to review the relevant case study of Omar Bermudez regarding the similar topic that he posted a year ago:…[Read more]

Hi Per and Robert,

Thank you guys for the clear answers.

And Yes Robert, This was my intention, as i am not a Trainer or a Facilitator i want to get a professional point of view to answer the client. I want to stay true to the principals and methods of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.

So one Solution is to hire facilitators to deliver those training.

are…[Read more]

Hi Marcos

Do you have the dates that you will be here? I’m a certified LEGO Serious Play facilitator and founder of a local LEGO User Group in Perú. https://www.facebook.com/LUG.LEGOClubPeru
It would be glad to talk about LSP and maybe let people know more about it and your experience with the methodology.
How could i contact you? maybe Skype…[Read more]

Hello Jason,
I am new here, but sure this is the topic for me! I use LSP in the prototyping stages of design thinking, with very nice results, especially, considering that I am working for innovation in the social sector with people who are much more verbal than hands-on. (I just described my experience…[Read more]

Jon,

Indeed – as Joyce has said: all these questions are thoroughly dealt with at LSP facilitator training sessions. However, if you are interested in this subject in more detail then I would suggest you to read Per’s and Robert’s book. In chapter 4 they talk about the method in detail, incl references to documentation. Also on pp. 138-140 there…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply Joyce. I of course plan to attend an LSP training workshop, but there doesn’t appear to be anything on the calendar I can get to for at least a year. Meanwhile, I am hoping to use the goodwill of this forum to expand my knowledge.

Hi Jon, “where” and “what” did you learn about LEGO Serious Play (LSP)?

I know people from the Agile community who think that getting out a bag of LEGO bricks is an LSP workshop. I know people in top-ranked business schools who think the same thing (I work with one of them). But it isn’t.

The process is extremely powerful when applied…[Read more]

Jason,

Thanks for sharing – sounds like great fun. Would be interesting to find out more.

You might have seen this, but there was a recent post about the connections of the Lego Serious Play and design thinking on this community site. Namely – a reference to a presentation of Arindam Basu:…[Read more]

thanks, all. very helpful.

Jon,

Welcome to the Serious Play community! I agree with Joyce – at most LSP facilitator training sessions those questions are dealt with thoroughly.

Anyway – it depends on an actual session. In most cases I do one day of a simple session where we start off with Window Exploration Bags or Starter Kits. If it is a quick warmup then I let people…[Read more]

Hello Jon,
here my two cents on what works for me on my workshops.
– I keep separate the starter kits in order to supply one by participant on my next workshop. Eventhough I usually do that, I have had times when i decide to mix all of them and place them at the center of the table for self serve, that works too when you are short one or two kits…[Read more]
