Serious Play Pro Forum 11 years, 5 months agoHi Bruce,
While Jens has been closely attached to the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY community for about ten years now and both he and Katrin Elster, who is a co-organiser of Play4Agile, are certified LSP facilitators, there is no guarantee that everything that Jens and Katrin introduce to the Agile community under the brand name Strategic Play is necessarily…[Read more] -

Serious Play Pro Forum 11 years, 5 months agoBTW, I’m not suggesting that you can’t or shouldn’t use LSP in an Agile project. Far from it. In fact, the more people using LSP, the merrier. My concern is related to branding and quality. How can an honest client with a certain budget ensure that his or her funds achieve the intended objectives, if there is no guarantee on what is being…[Read more]

Serious Play Pro Forum 11 years, 5 months agoHi James,
You are not the first person to use Agile and LSP in the same breath. In April at a Project Management conference, I was talking with a guy who ran a one and a half hour session on LSP and Agile. What bothered me was that he had only seen “LSP” once, at another conference and instantly thought he could lecture on the subject. He…[Read more] -

Serious Play Pro Forum 11 years, 5 months agoDear 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] -

Serious Play Forum 11 years, 7 months agoWishing you all a very productive couple of days in Billund. Sorry that Joyce and I couldn’t make it this time round – just a bit too busy on a variety of different professional and personal projects for once.
I just read a reply by Leif Kjaer Karlsen to my comment about protecting the core values, principles, etc. of LSP. What he says is very…[Read more]

I’m curious. Where do you access this knowledge base? I’m supposed to be a moderator of this site and I wasn’t aware that there was a knowledge base of PDFs

I suppose that this is one of the presentations prepared by Robert some years ago. Available e.g. here: http://www.flandersinshape.be/frontend/files/userfiles/files/LSP_Case_Example.pdf

But you don’t remember where you saw this presentation? I’m just curious. Obviously, if it was the CAPRESE web site, that would make sense – I’m more interested if other people / organisations refer to it. It enhances one’s credibility if third parties reference one’s work.

Eli, the presentation is in the knowledge base that we have access to, and it’s entitled LSP_Case_Example.pdf

Serious Play Forum 11 years, 7 months agoA Potential Breach in LSP Core Values???
As a follow-on from the conversation with Gabriel, I thought I’d trawl the net for any reference to Swisscom and LSP. Apart from our own CAPRESE web site, and the Xing profile of our main client representative, I also saw a link to a page in German:…[Read more]

According to my information from a former colleague, now employed at DSG Berlin, JK (during a WS Sept. 7th.) by using the LSP concept name represented a directly contradiction of all the LSP values, principles and etiquette. Including that the core steps of LSP were not followed and after woods by various participants named as a complete disaster.…[Read more]

A presentation on LSP had a slide with a list of companies that used the method… Swisscom figured as one of them.

The department in question is Swisscom Residential Brand Experience. However, I believe the leadership team from that time has now moved on.

Hi Gabriel,
Swisscom used LSP in a strategic programme to move from technology driven product development to human centric customer experience design.
Orange Communications used LSP for strategy and branding in the very early days of research through The Imagination Lab.
I also believe that some work was done with British Telecom around 2009,…[Read more]

Eli,
thank you very much, this is very helpful. It turns out that the Canadian company I am referring to will be speaking to Swisscom on another matter and just might bring up the topic of LSP.
Thx again

Hi Simon, I am curious about your challenge. Here are some of my questions: Is this a conference or a workshop? If it’s a conference, how will you be using LSP? Will you be demonstrating the methodology or do you have specific business objectives to address? Will all 150 conference participants be taking part in the LSP activity? How many…[Read more]

Hi Andreas, We do have quite a lot of inventory, which we tend to reuse, because most of our work is currently in the public/academic/non-profit sector. We have enough material for around 100 participants, but we don’t have 4 brand new boxes. Depending on the nature of your workshope and client, it may or may not be viable to rent the material…[Read more]

Hi Eli, Thank you very much for your message. The boxes do not need to be brand new or even in particularly good shape. We conduct the workshop with 20 students as part of one of Master classes. We already did engage an external facilitator to conduct this first 1-day workshop, but he currently does not possess enough material for 20 participants,…[Read more]
