@Gabriel – as a follow-up to Eli’s comment – there are 4 other facilitators in our community who are from your neighborhood in Quebec or Montreal: http://seriousplaypro.com/members/?s=Montreal – perhaps it is indeed worth getting in touch with them?

I agree with what Marko has said and would only add two comments:

First, the firm probably doesn’t appreciate how useful LSP can be, and that is why they only gave you 4 hours.

Second, as they don’the know how useful this will be make sure they go away with ‘actions’ to implement and a subtle note of how you would take this further…[Read more]

The best you can do at this stage is some meticulous planning. Start from the very first minutes and write down all steps that you are planning:
– Introduction to the day by company representative (15-20 minutes)
– Introduction by you to LSP methodology, rules etc (10-15 min)
– Warm up skills building exercises (20-25 min)
– First individual…[Read more]

Dieter,

I believe that longer sessions happen quite frequently. In SeriousPlayPro community survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/seriousplaypro we had a question: “What types of workshops do you deliver with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®?” One of the answer options was very similar: “Continuous sessions with the same client over a long period”.

Probably yes, because what you would need in this situation is probably quite extensive exchange on those ad hoc individual approaches that those individual employees have taken so far.

The main concern that I would have – is the time enough for this type of discussion given lots of diverging thoughts about the sector directions among the…[Read more]

Gabriel – that is very interesting assignment you have been invited to assist. It goes beyond the core application of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY in trying to take steps in determining particular strategic choices for the firm. Hence – I see two potential scenarios for you.

One possibility is to frame the approach by using the Business Model Canvas…[Read more]

I’ve done similar short sessions with students. Given universities are international places, and that there is ALWAYS someone who’s not used Lego before, I strongly urge you to not skip the bridge building exercise. This also provides the transition period between when they are coming from whatever they did before to settle down to the serious…[Read more]

@Balint – I understand you have in mind the LEGO Architecture Studio 21050 Playset: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPPPCVM/?tag=seriousplay-20 ? Given that it consists of 1210 mostly generic bricks, plates and windows then looks like really an interesting idea how to combine it with Landscape and Identity kit to start constructing interesting landscapes.…[Read more]

Marcos, thank you for this interesting question and thanks to the others for your contribution.

I presume that we have all been asked this a number of times. A decision maker who would like to see a proof that LEGO SERIOUS PLAY “actually works”.

I have used a number of examples from my practice. I was lucky that one of my first experiences was…[Read more]
