Who would be interested in running a LSP based empathy exercise for engineers and scientist at Rutgers University? Asking for a friend. This would be an unpaid engagement but very interesting. I have done a few of those at Hult Business School here in Boston.

Cheers,
Dieter

Hi Thierry,

Not involving LSP, but MIT Solve, a marketplace for social impact, has some programs that target kids in Bangladesh.

Dear Francesca, we are running a similar service in The Netherlands, where kids with a challenge (usually something alike autism) sort and deliver kits. We could deliver in Germany, but also at the location in The Netherlands. Anything you like. Just like Christoph we lease out anything (starter / L&I / connections / baseplates) and we sell…[Read more]

My dearest fellow LEGO Serious Play facilitators: I need your help! Together with Edwin de Vos and Peter Westenberg we have the intention to launch a social sort and lease service for LSP kits. To fit that service to the needs of our potential customers (you!) we made this small questionnaire. Will you please leave a response, so we can design our…[Read more]

Hi Alison,

Thanks for you reply… could you tell me how you kept control of the process? How did you manage to let the participants share their story? I am very curious about your approach… at first sight this would be great to use here.

Regards,
Arjan

Hi all,

I am currently working as a business integration manager for a company that has bought two smaller companies… now they asked me (because they know I am a LSP facilitator as well) to design a way of getting to know each other. I am a bit reluctant about this, because I won’t have any control over the way it will be used once…[Read more]

Hi Rick, what a great way of remembering who Onno was and what he loved to do!
He will be greatly missed in the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY community in the Netherlands.

Thanks for sharing this (intimate) story!

Hi,

I recently facilitated a workshop whereby the group was divided into two big workshops (approx. 60 persons per workshop). I decided to divide the two groups into five tables of 12 persons.

Every table created a shared model whereby they gave their impression on process improvement with LEAN within their company. So in the end I had five…[Read more]

Thanks to all of your replies. Good to know I am not the only one. And it sounds comforting that this also applies to other methods. Perhaps people want to be surprised all the time?

For the moment, I have convinced them to use LSP again: they were happy the last time, we have a different topic in the new workshop, the workshop program will be…[Read more]

What Erik says. Apparently they focussed more on the method than on the results. And I like this quote Erik uses: “Do they stop having meetings since they have done it before?” :-) Still: when I am asked this question I sometimes convince them to still use LEGO, but there are more methods possible, so I won’t just stick to LSP but try to offer…[Read more]

“We really have enjoyed working with the Lego Serious Play method and materials! Great tool, and great results! Thank you so much for helping us out! But for our next workshop we want to do something else, because we have done this, already.”

Sounds familiair to you? How do you respond to clients who tell you this? It sometimes happens to me, and…[Read more]
