Thanks, Stan and Eli for sharing those cases. I’ll dive into it to see if something like you did might help my potential customer. I’ll keep you posted on their wishes, if you like.

Cheers, Wiro

Dear Wiro,
We do a regular business modelling session at the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne (EPFL). The best reference for this is probably the one written by Yves Pigneur (http://www2.hec.unil.ch/wpmu/ypigneur/2012/04/01/lego-serious-play/)

We also do a Corporate Identity session for students at Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI)…[Read more]

Wiro,

Here’s a case study I wrote about using LSP to teach software engineering to 4th year university students. I hope this helps.

@Luc, thanks for your post. As I’ll have four assistants available during the workshop, there is no need for an extra facilitator. But thanks anyway!

Hi! Have you tried bricklink.com ? You can find basically everything there. Which part btw?

Hello Greet,

A very interesting topic; I’m having a similar assignment coming up with a 14 p European management team that needs to start working better together.

If you want an extra facilitator, I might be able to help you out (could be a learning opportunity for the both of us). I have my offices in Mechelen, by the way.

The assistants guidelines came from Robert Rasmussen. I also made up some picture slides on the instructions to distribute to assistant facilitators.
Send me an email to sebastian@sjbradford.com and Ill reply them to you
BTW agree with Wiro.. If only addressing the offering side of the Biz model csnvas ie the value proposition,customers, key…[Read more]

Hi Greet,
You’re welcome. I’m sure you will succeed. Have fun, play well. Hartelijke groet, Michel

@Sebastian, I’m interested in the ‘Assistant’s Guidelines’ for LSP. Are they publicly available ?

When you just use the Value Proposition Canvas and make people build WHAT they solve (or what needs they fulfill) for WHO, then you have plenty time.

Thank you all for your feedback ! It’s obvious I have to let go of the idea not to split up the group. I like the idea of using the World Cafe method as an alternative. There are 3 “facilitators” in the group who have no LSP experience, but I think I will give them the assistant’s role. Regarding the BMC, I know I have not enough time for that,…[Read more]

Concur with Eli.. Hi buddy.. howzzitgoin..
Re cofacilitation .yes.. you would need assistance even if just to make sure the core process steps are adhered to and flow is maintained. As there are no certified LSP facilitators here other than me, I use Robert’s ‘Assistants Guidelines’ for LSP to prep cofacilitators for the projects. I still lead…[Read more]

Hi Greet,
I concur with everything said previously, use smaller groups at separate tables, but all in the same room. Have table groups present their shared models to each other. Use World Café method or at least the mixing and hosting elements to develop a more generalised perception and understanding throughout the group.

The one thing I would…[Read more]

Cool addition Sebastian. I could even imagine people to continue building on a model someone else started, or improving and extending a shared model the people on the table built at first instance.

Agree with the aboves. How it could work is by modifying the World Cafe method:

Divide into 3 or 4 groups.

Each group builds.. shares and reflects. +/-1 hour

Half of each table then rotates to another table with their Lego and repeats sharing and reflecting with the half of the group left at that table.

If 3 groups with 6 to 7 each then this…[Read more]

Hi Greet,

Like Wiro said. It is very well possible to work in smaller groups and focus on your role as facilitator. The thing is that you probably want to make sure that they can work on their own. Therefore, make sure that they do enough skills building. And make sure they ‘stick’ to the proces so that everyone gets the change to tell the whole…[Read more]

Just to go short: you could work in two to four smaller groups and try to focus on your role as a facilitator solely. That would mean you won’t be able to listen to every story being told, nor that you can intervene immediately. If that’s not what you want: arrange an extra facilitator. I wouldn’t try to put 19 people together on one table, if I…[Read more]
