Hi Jody,
A few years ago, I actually explored the possibility of using AR/VR and the existing LEGO tools to support the following Work Flow:

1. Workshop participants come together in a physical co-located space and build real world tangible models.
2. Workshop facilitator or sponsor photographs/films the model and uploads it into the LEGO…[Read more]

Thanks Pere. Good stuff – I added it also to the front page.

It is REALLY EASY to engage people if you are doing things WITH THEM rather than TO them. And general metaphors work great if you allow the participants to reframe them into something personal to the individual or tabletop.

Show someone a Rorschach (inkblot) image and they will see things. Show them a construct from something like a Thematic…[Read more]

I won’t bother to repeat what Sebastian has already said, but will be a bit more rhetorical. How did we learn that the shapes (that we call letters) “d” “o” “g” represent a four legged mammal with a tail that it wags when it’s happy and that those same shapes/letters in a different sequence represent the supreme element of our belief system? As…[Read more]

I got StopMotion for my iPhone and there are others in the App store.

In a conversation Thursday with a high-tech colleague in Mumbai, he popped me two other alternatives (one not apparently available in the US). So there ARE a variety of apps out there that require no additional hardware. And my son-in-law has one on his Android and it was said…[Read more]

Marko has made outstanding contributions to the organizational and personal development of tens of thousands of people, many directly but also many who have benefited from his “transfer of training” and his expertise and teachings. And his views on this question are most certainly appreciated.

Over the past 30 years, that concept of…[Read more]

Hi All,
This is a subject that I take dearly to heart. Some of us in the LSP community were practising years before we finally got certified and I am sure that there will always be a percentage of professionals who discover the methodology and start using it successfully long before they decide to attend a formal training session.

I remember a…[Read more]

Scott – I havent asked the participants to do stop-motion videos, but I have done these myself using camera’s stop motion function. Gopro is the easiest option. See one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6Nm5hixKY

I am also offering certified training courses, but admit that the word “certification” on this market is misleading. Criteria for certification is just survival for 2-4 days at the training. The reason I offer certificates is that many people coming from corporate setting suggest that they need this as the evidence of attendance.

There is no…[Read more]

Rick. What a sad loss and what a kind and thoughtful way of remembering Onno. He was such a lovely chap. Very engaged and active LSP practitioner. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Rick,

I never had the chance to meet Onno.
This said, is sorry to hear this news. And of course, a great way to honor him.

Please allow me to suggest two alternatives, both complete team building games with powerpoint intro and play and debriefing packaged up into a bundle and one that uses LEGO scenes as communications tools. And, these are designed to be easily integrated with other content, using LEGO and LSP or not. Both are anchored in metaphor and both focus on…[Read more]

one additional tip: you can create a shared vision of the team in a short future (2 to 4 years).
