Hi Pedro,
This looks really good, thank you for this note.
Are you aware if this cards are related to the Gallups Strenghts Finder basics?
Have fun,
Rodrigo

I’m not aware of how Strengths Finders Trainings are delivered. I have used the tool on my previos work at Hewlett Packard and it’s very powerful.
Since the tool i used was 100% online, I would like to hear on how to get the same learnings on LSP! :)

@guidow “I’ve used explorer kits and asked folks to build the shared model in a way they can recover the kit. ”

Please share your method, I’m curious about how you structured this, sounds great.

I’m using the Starter Kits for the sessions. I’ve been avoiding group builds with those kits because of the nightmares I have about splitting the 291 pieces back out at the end. (I have 11 kits. One kit is missing a 1×1 round piece. I am dreading looking through all kits to find it). I also emphasize to my cohorts that that for group builds, you…[Read more]

Thank you Stephen,

This is very affirming. I agree that the basic skills actually accelerates later builds. I’ve seen some try to skip it thinking they’ll jump to the good stuff, but it seldom happens without the orientation.

What size kits are you using? I’m thinking I can do the orientation, individual build and then group build off the…[Read more]

I’ve been running LSP sessions on a two hour window – using the first “half” as a skills training, (construction, metaphor, story making), and then using a custom piece for the second “half”. The current custom piece is a “Past, Future, Present” make a model in 3 minutes (done three times), then explain the combined three piece model to the other…[Read more]

Greetings Massimo (et al),

I am working on a 2.5 hour LSP session for my org and saw in a thread you had a script that might offer some wisdom. If you are willing to share I would appreciate learning from you how you handled LSP in such a tight window of time

Many thanks!

It it is in our best interests to seek out an align ourselves with facilitators in our regions that have disabilities. There is an under tapped group of experts that would be able to weigh-in on making inclusive sessions for everyone. Perhaps we would all discover alternative building options and strategies for our clients by listening to LSP…[Read more]

Rob,
Did have 1 kit per participant?

Following up on the article HOW LEGO CAN HELP BLIND PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD, I just received this:

This site hosts text instruction to help blind people build LEGO Models.

On http://legoduckchallenge.tumblr.com/ they found 195 ducks.

Hi Rob,

I’ve used the Build to Express Kits. They’re great. In some respects they’re better than the starter kits. They have more of the little pieces like tools and a big base plate. But they don’t have the big duplo blocks that the starter kit does.

Overall they are a fine substitute when the starter kits aren’t available.

Cheers

Hello Ariel,
I didn’t use connections or SGP in my workshop as time didn’t allow me, but I think it would be definitely a great idea to build the connections, agents and play scenarios to get the SGP. For this case, consider at least a 2-day-workshop.

Happy building!

Sebastian,

Thank you very much ! it helps.

Hi Ariel I have used a similar approach though applied to processes in banks.
I used a LEAN and TRIZ Creativity Matrix Canvas for each group to:
1 Identify the current process chain and process components in the system to be improved.
2. Identify Process Waste, Redundancy, Inefficiency using LEAN 8 Waste Matrix
3. Using TRIZ, identify process…[Read more]

Hello Pablo,

Thank you very much for the timely and detailed answer.

In the “shared model” do you also use connections (like we use in the higher level apps) between component so we could play scenarios ?

Also, do you use simple guiding principles ?

Thank you,

Ariel
