Hi Eli and Sebastian,

thank you very much for your respective inputs.

General question to both of you: when you designed your respective workshops, did you at any time mention to your client you were going to use LSP? In other words was was the selling argument? I still struggle with that part. I always use a solutions based approach and end up…[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]

Hi Gabriel,

re the Real time Strategy for Teams.. an alternative method to use is the The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. By Patrick Lencioni model.
Basically the exercise would be:

LSP Skill building
Johari Window.. each participant builds:
1. their own perception of how they behave in a work team…[Read more]

Beside what Eli’s wrote, I also make “matchmaking” events. Startups can meet, practice 1minute pitch, share problems…etc.

Hi hugues,

Please check with Michel Cloosterman. He had a presentation on this topic during the LSP summit last year. Should be able to help you out!

Hi Camila

I’ve used LSP for a number of different purposes for UX – Design Thinking, group facilitation and research (1 on 1 interviews mainly).
The key is really asking the right question and following the process – question, build, share, reflect.
The goal from my perspective is to first understand the problem you’re trying to solve (th…[Read more]

Hi Eli, Hi Walter
Thank you for your helpfull feedbacks
Warm regards Hugues

Hi Hugues,
I have been involved as an LSP facilitator with startups a few times.

Business modelling is of course a major issue, but in my experience so is product definition. Beyond the obvious agreement on superficial aspects, team members tend to have even wildly differing notions as to the hows and whys of the product.

This usually remains…[Read more]

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,
Eli

Hi Ine, thanks for the response! I think this discussion is very rich.
Thinking in a practical scenario; I have recently worked on a qualitative UX project regarding invoice interface. The design team (a telephone company here in Brazil) wanted to develop a new invoice (paper) because the number of complaints regarding lack of information clarity…[Read more]

Hi Camila,
I’m a qualitative researcher as well as a workshop facilitator, so I get your point! I have thought quite a bit about the potential, but haven’t applied LSP in this way. What holds me back (perhaps unjustifiably?) is:
– focus groups are made up of random individuals, who do not have 1 purpose or 1 business goal to fulfill. They just…[Read more]
