I was just referring back to a workshop I ran in South Africa for the Good Financial Governance programme of GIZ (German International Cooperation) and saw that they have written quite a nice summary. While we didn’t use LSP for the whole workshop, it is nice for once to see the client explicitly appreciating the use of the methodology […] View

    Mi riferisco ad un recente post apparso qui sulla facilitazione da remoto.
    E mi domandavo: cosa ne pensate?
    Personalmente, per il mio stile di facilitazione, anche per le Legoviews/interviste, la vicinanza con i partecipanti è essenziale per coinvolgerli e per creare empatia, creare quella complicità e fiducia che serve ad esplorare ed aprire la p…[Read more]

    Hi Manuel.

    Indeed, I have used pencil cup/letter dog exercise as a simple ice-breaker, but it is the most powerful in an instance where you have a relatively bureaucratic company looking for more flexibility. In those situations where the company past has fostered the truisms that the procedures, budgets and instructions are paramount. What I…[Read more]

    Hi Eli and Marko,

    my 2 cents worth on this.

    The ethics of being certified in LEGO Serious Play has become an issue for me also.

    Originally I discovered LSP online and then got the open source documents and researched David Gauntlett, and other write ups on LSP. I then ran some workshops using LSP with some success, but then decided to learn…[Read more]

    I was recently again pointed to one firm who offers LEGO SERIOUS PLAY workshops, but has not taken formal LEGO SERIOUS PLAY training with any of the senior trainers. So what to think about it?

    It would be great to see a debate in this matter. Let me kick off by my own perspective.

    I tend to have a democratic stance, based on personal experience.…[Read more]

    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]

    Hi Enrique.. Would be happy to help. I’m based in Indonesia though.. I don’t know if that Asian perspective helps you?
    I’ve done variations of play learning, indoor and out with thousands of people over the years at staff to CEO levels… and it is a very effective method I find..

    Re your questions on what I assume are significant deviations from the stated objectives I would say no.
    However deviations from the script and workshop ‘activity blocks’ are something I frequently have to do for the following reasons:
