Gargoyle Software also put together a page on the Exploration Bag:

I find in general that it is possible to do a version of the Starter Kit exercises with the Explorer bag, but on a smaller scale. The Tower exercise translates fine, and there are at least two distinct ways of making a duck…[Read more]

Dr. Dann, you are a ROCK STAR! Thank you for sharing your incredible resources. You’ve saved my bacon. With gratitude, K

PS – Fantastic white paper, too.

I believe I can help out with this one.

Over at Mecabricks I have a set of LSP Window kit models – https://www.mecabricks.com/en/user/stephendann and over at my website there’s a copy of the manual I use – http://stephendann.com/lego-serious-play-resources/

Plus, if you’re after some supplemental stuff, I have a paper over here that helps -…[Read more]

Happy year and thank you very much for your always fast and good response Eli.
My main activity is the workshops and then complement them with coaching processes.
The question was asked because I have seen that other people who have been certified after I are basing their business in forming other coaches and psychologists in LSP and did not know…[Read more]

Sorry that last post was a little more direct than I intended. Danger of belting out a post on your way out the door at 5pm!

Anyway what I was trying to say (somewhat ineloquently) was that in client interactions I’ve found the best thing to do is get them building and experiencing LSP.

That’s the evidence you and they are looking for. A cli…[Read more]

Hola Willy! Importantisima sugerencia, mil gracias!! Además pienso que si creen no tener problemas y los tienen, trabajando en la definición de equipo con LSP pueden surgir temas que se sienten pero no se han expresado.

Excelente aporte, gracias!!

Saludos desde Guatemala!!

Great discussion in here, thank you everyone.

I wouldn’t put much stock in Dan’s views, numbers or anything else. Clearly has a chip on his shoulder and an agenda to push with his book. I’m not wasting any more breath/words on him.

As to how to talk about LSP and the challenges that some of you are facing in getting clients to use LSP, I’m not s…[Read more]

Hola
Cuidaría la definición de equipo y el objetivo del taller
Es para que se lleven bien (quizá tienen conflictos) o para que “trabajen” como equipo

I think Jamie makes some good points. In my mind there is no doubt about the value of LSP as a method (and I intend to get fully certified as soon as time and budget allows), but if Dan Lyons’ statistics are right — 10,000 certified facilitators vs 100,000 participants, i.e. a ratio of 1:10 — then it would seem that the ROI for getting certified…[Read more]

Hi Irene, based on the Open Source license, you are licensed to facilitate or train even without being trained or certified yourself.
Technically, there is no official training curriculum or certification process. So if you wanted to create your own one, that would be completely OK as long as you respect LEGO’S Branding and trademark guidelines,…[Read more]

Hi All,

It’s my first time in contributing to this forum, but the nature of this discussion certainly jived with my experience of attempting to bring LSP to some of my clients (and potential clients).

I’ve not read the book in question and in fact Amazon is telling me it is currently unavailable, but I think a lot can be taken from the fact…[Read more]

I have recreated the link that you can use to self-register to SeriousPlayPro Slack Channel: https://join.slack.com/t/seriousplaypro/shared_invite/enQtNTA5NTQzMjYyNjExLWY2ZDRkN2ZiNGVlZDFlODY5YjU1ZWVmYzk4MzdmMjE4MzIzMDc1YjZhZGUxYzc1MWYyZDg3NTFjNjNkZDYyOGQ

Hi Eli. Quick note, keeping it short not to distract from the original topic. I have empathy with your perspective. I also want you to understand that “seriousplaypro.com” is a great resource but literally one of very few that I deem credible – so my comments are not meant as an attack on you. I tip my hat to your experience and I assure you that…[Read more]

Well said, Thierry. This guy is not mature enough to play seriously.
When we first started putting LEGO Serious Play into the market in 2001, it became clear that LSP was NOT for everybody in every organization.
Facilitating LSP workshops with 7500 people since 2001 proves out 100% of the time “you learn more about a person in an hour of play…[Read more]

I found this blog post by the author where he specifically rants against LEGO Serious Play:

https://medium.com/s/story/why-have-our-offices-become-like-touchy-feely-kindergartens-cc7629912fb7

Reading this blog post, and Amazon reviews of his book (I’ve not read it), it seems to me that this author takes an approach fairly typical of authors in…[Read more]

Hi Werner, I hope you managed to get yourself included in the Slack Channel as per your request some weeks back.

I feel compelled to respond to your post on the Impact in the Business World, because you make some very valid points, but also some erroneous assumptions or perhaps misinterpretations.

When someone asks to have a script for running a…[Read more]
