Hi Hans,
There’s not much point in repeating what I have already said in other posts. Certainly having 2 facilitators is better than one, and with 16 participants, you may end up working with 4 tables. With one client I had a project team of about the same number of people and we split them into two large tables of 8, until the end of the day,…[Read more]

In 2009, we ran a 2.5 day workshop for the Geneva Office of the United Nations Development Program. Each unit had to develop their work plan for the following year. Most of the teams were small enough to sit at a single table, but one of the teams had about 10 members present. So we split them into two tables more or less next to each other (so…[Read more]

Dear Joanna,
In your profile, you list yourself as being a participant, while in your post you say that you were the facilitator. As I understand it, you were trained by Robert Rasmussen. I am sure that he can give you better advice than I can.

That being said, the simple answer to your question is to work with multiple tables of fewer…[Read more]

Hi Melissa,
This subject should have been covered in your training.
According to those more knowledgeable than myself, the ideal number of participants at one table is 4.
A competent facilitator should be able to handle around 15 participants (so that makes 4 tables). Beyond 15 participants, you will be sacrificing quality for the sake of saving…[Read more]

Hi Ariane, the answer is yes.

Joyce and I tend to use a rule of thumb of approx. 15 participants / facilitator. Best practice is closer to 8 / facilitator, but most clients are reluctant to spend that much money on the facilitation and the coordination of all of the co-facilitators would almost require a full time person doing just that.

Dear Joanna,
The way I have understood your question is that you as a facilitator of LSP activities are being asked by a client to use LSP to support an interview process. I think it would be helpful to be careful with your terminology.
A facilitator-led interactive process in which one participant builds metaphorical models with LEGO pieces and…[Read more]

Hi Sabin,
Thanks for your response. I can definitely see how such a tool would be useful for virtual teams collaborating on the same project. Perhaps the Slack Channel could be used for anyone wanting to develop the seriousplaypro web site and as you say newly trained facilitators who want to keep the buzz going or ask their trainer for…[Read more]

Great idea!!!!! Count me in!

Hi Guys,
I had never heard of slack channel until today, so I looked it up in Wikipedia. After browsing through the features and other aspects, I have to ask how such a communications medium can be of more value than the WordPress CMS system that we already have.

Just curious,
Eli
P.S. Marko, this is not a request for me to be included in the…[Read more]
