Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years ago
Hi Sophie,
For the construction skill building I use “Trashin’ the Camp” by Phil Collins/’N Sync from the Tarzan soundtrack. It’s fun, energetic and short
For the individual metaphor build, I use Al Di Meola’s version of “Theme from the Mothership”. It’s reasonably fast-paced, while still remaining quite controlled and serene.
For a shortish…[Read more] -
Eli De Friend replied to the topic "Pair Programming" in LSP in the forum
Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years ago
Hi Ariel,
Thanks for your question.
My first comment would be that you should not try to manage a group of 20 participants if you are just one facilitator – it doesn’t make sense. Try to find someone else, preferably LSP-qualified to support you.With regard to managing the size of the group, I think what most of us do is to distribute…[Read more]

Hi Martin,
One question that can get this sort of discussion going is “what happened in the past”.
Perhaps introduce the discussion in a wider context with more people. If the problem doesn’t emerge during the wider discussion, you will at least have uncovered some interesting perspectives. You would then be able to drill down with those who are…[Read more] -

Hi Gabriel,
Answers:
Yes, a pair build is when two individuals build a single construction – a hybrid between individual and shared. You have the basic advantages of negotiation, while still maintaining a certain intimacy/privacy.Regarding connections, most participants are already doing it before we get to that formal step, so the answer to the…[Read more]

Hi Gabriel,
I recently ran a “Team-Building” Workshop for MSC Cruises with Tatiana Gavrilova and Joyce Miller. This was a mandate we got through the seriousplaypro web site, so we will be paying 10% of our fees back to seriousplaypro as a referral fee.Personally, I resent being asked to use LSP for “Team-Building”, because I maintain that…[Read more]

We will absolutely do another global conference. We are back in Billund in October (3-4th). I think you missed the 2016 conference, which explains why you didn’t know. We will post about it soon’ish

Hi Hugues,
Frequently, start-ups have a product and haven’t yet grown up the organisational structure around them.
I would imagine that some standard Identity and Strategy work would be worthwhile in such situations.
Best regards,

Hi Guys, I’m not sure I have really understood the “use case” to use an IT term for your knowledge platform. Isn’t the current seriousplaypro platform exactly that.? On this site, some people ask for recommendations of questions or roadmaps and others share examples of questions or approaches that they feel may be of value to others. This is an…[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]

Per Kristiansen replied to the topic handicap and LSP in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years ago
hi Hugues
I have done this a couple of times, and the most surprising thing is that you do not have to adapt, or at least extremely little. The key difference is in how visually impaired see things, as my sponsor said it “but we see, we just see with our hands”. Thus, give the listeners time to feel the model, before or while the builder is…[Read more]

Dear Manuel,
As you were trained by Robert, I am sure that you are currently respecting the principles, process and ethics of the method as much as anyone.When in doubt, stick to what you know.
Regarding improvisation, I fear that it would be quite risky to improvise a building task. I already find it difficult to explain a task, when it is in…[Read more]
