I have not read the book (yet). I would venture the following statement tho. I work in the design field myself and can only equate the statement to the same that is being said about design thinking.

Design thinking is being touted as the silver bullet for floundering companies desperately trying to ‘innovate’ through canned creativity. The amo…[Read more]

I am a newly certified facilitator, so my experience is limited. He makes several points based on his reading and single morning interaction with a facilitator (who seems to be combining LSP with other things) in an attempt to put LSP in the “silly” category.

Thanks

If it’s so short, even exploration kit isn’t needed for a round of Explain This, provided you can make a set of identical kits with a good mix of 6-8 parts each. If you don’t have those ready to go or are short of time to prepare them, then go with WEK.

Ed hi,

Thanks for your prompt feedback here. In fact they know each others and worked with each others. All are fluent in English. I have been tasked by the General Manager to give kind of LSP Awareness to gain Directors buy in & approbation, to work with their team’s, who have different needs identified during the last 2 years.

Q > Which set…[Read more]

Yannick – if this is a multicultural group from “around the world” that don’t already know each other, then I wouldn’t consider using LSP in such a short time as 30 minutes. I believe it will be inevitably shallow, and potentially embarrassing, and undermine the value of the great work you could do if you were given adequate time.
However, if you…[Read more]

Alison hi,

Thank you for sharing your thought.
I’m going to have 25 peoples directors or managers, from production, sales, products management from all around the world.
I have been given 90 min split in 3 times, I dislike the idea but I need to kick off and need to give an awareness to the board of Directors & Managers so, then I can run as…[Read more]

Hi Eli,

Thank you for the response, I think I understood (refreshed) the concept. The practical application of it is difficult, also in the health field. In any case, I firmly believe in the LSP methodology. I will continue to deepen it.

Hi Gonzalo,
I think I understand perhaps part of your problem. Many clients see LSP as a fun thing to do that facilitates a discussion about work in a fun way and supports team-building. I don’t know whether it is through simplistic journalistic coverage or practitioners elevators pitches, but clients often think that, if they need help developing…[Read more]

Hello Eli, thank you for your quick response. Indeed, I have completed the full training course as a facilitator (Barcelona, ​​October 2017. L. Margulis). It just happens that it was more than a year ago. During all this time I have focused on the construction of identity and teamwork. It also happens that actions that are not worked fre…[Read more]

Hi Gonzalo,

Originally, LSP was a strategy development tool and Simple Guiding Principles (SGPs) were some of if not THE core outputs of the process.

Uncovering and building SGPs used to be part of the standard facilitator training. In 4 days we covered everything. But in those days, the assumption was that the participants were already…[Read more]

Hi Monica,
Could I suggest a different approach to your question. In my experience, 4 hours is the absolute minimum required to achieve any semblance of shared understanding/agreement on a given subject. Most companies require multiple workshops of variable duration of 1 or 2 days in order to achieve a sustainable impact.
So, if you just want to…[Read more]
