Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for posting your experiences. Everyone should read your story.

I’m surprised that you recommend an hour skill-building. I’m sure I was told in training that it should be 2 hours!

Handling the talkative ones is just part of the job of being a facilitator. Doing the skills building right won’t get your participants obeying…[Read more]

Sean – sure. Please let us know what kind of exercise you have in mind and what is the type of group that you have in mind.

There are lots of interesting case studies of running LSP sessions in large groups. You have probably already seen this:…[Read more]

Luc,

Just to confirm what the others have already said. I have used Lego Serious Play for nearly a decade now – in average 20-40 LSP sessions a year, but i have never gone to the client selling LSP. In most cases I even do not write LSP into my proposals. Clients find out about the bricks only at the last minute.

Usually the client describes me…[Read more]

Balint, I think we all understand the challenge; we have all met people who are shortsighted and don’t want to invest. Believe me, Eastern Europe does not have a monopoly on shortsightedness. Wall Street in New York has proven time and again that it cannot see beyond the end of its next 3-month nose. So these are the people whose careers are going…[Read more]

Luc, I find terms like C-level quite confusing; still here’s a list of CAPRESE LSP references, where senior management have been involved (I’ll leave it to you to decide whether VP R&D EMEA in Honeywell ACS who reports to an Executive VP is senior or junior to VP R&D Aerolia who reports directly to a…[Read more]

Having a more efficient R & D department might not affect your bottom line in the short term, but may help your organisation to develop products and services…[Read more]

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]

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]
