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

    Pamela –

    GREAT that things went well. And wonderful that you found a lot of information to mix and match to produce the session that you wanted.

    What the GROUP might find helpful is an overview of what you actually did in enough detail that they might be able to reproduce key outcomes. Modeling is such a useful endeavor and we would all benefit…[Read more]

    Scott Simmerman, Ph.D. CPF, CPT started the topic Serious Play Conference in US (Virginia, July 2018) (NOT LSP) in the forum Group logo of Serious Play ForumSerious Play Pro Forum 7 years ago

    There is what looks to be an interesting conference on serious game play to be held near Dulles Airport (DC) in July. The program looks interesting and the cost is good and I am thinking of attending.

    It might be really neat to gather a sub-group of our LEGO networks to meet up and share ideas and partake in a libation or…[Read more]

    Scott Simmerman, Ph.D. CPF, CPT replied to the topic Duck Workshop in the forum Group logo of Serious Play ForumSerious Play Pro Forum 7 years ago

    Years ago, using Tinker Toys, I would read from a list as to how an object was to be constructed, with commands such as,

    – take a round, 8-hole wheel and put a 4-inch blue stick into the center hole
    – on 4 of the holes in the rim of that wheel, put 2-inch yellow sticks.
    – on the other 4 holes in the rim of that wheel, put 1-inch green sticks
    -…[Read more]

    Are there any anchoring frameworks to the issues of TRUST with this play?

    Any ideas as to how to build in some accountability or interpersonal trust between people in play?

    If you look globally at exercises and tools, there are only a few things like trust falls and trust walks that seem to be used to demonstrate these behaviors and patterns.

    Thierry, thanks for sharing your experience. Very good story. It is very nice to know that not having been formally trained in LSP you managed to design and handle your workshop beautifully.

    Marko just gave me “author rights” for the group and I am not sure I am ready for that responsibility. What I HAVE been doing is trying to drive a lot of dialog on the LSP Facebook page. That has gone really well and we’ve added more than a dozen people in the past few days, with lots of conversations. I use LEGO in constructing scenes in my…[Read more]

    Hi Melissa,

    12 should not be an issue if you facilitate the sharing and discussion well.
    I have run a table of 14 at one go with no major issues though I do not recommend it.
    I find that 6 is an ideal table size for time and richness of input.
    As Eli says having cofacilitators or even assistant facilitators is best and also distfibutes ebergy and…[Read more]
