mmmmmm … thinking …. the Duck exercise is adding time but little meaning. The duck in itself is a stand-alone demo and does not mix well with others … I would remove #2, then move #3 to #2, and then add new #3, to build their own personal “superpower”.
That way they are still doing skill building but they are also sharing their own personal…[Read more]

http://www.stattys.com/ do deliver those cards as well, no reason to wait for it being backed first. ;-)

Thanks all, for sharing you’re experiences, a must read for all facilitators – imho.

E bravo fabrizio!!

Io si, Qualche mese fa Marek Pawlowski scrisse questo

Local Lego answers creative industry challenges

Descrivendo l’esperienza come una conversione LoL

Concordo con Fabrizio: questo funge da Albo e supporto, perchè qui ci capitano o coloro che si sono certificati, o quelli realmente interessati e motivati ad apprendere il metodo.
Non che SeriousPlayPro sia una garanzia, ma certamente dimostra chi sono le persone interessate a capire, confrontarsi ed apprendere il metodo.
Poi tra il conoscere ed…[Read more]

Hi Marko,
To be honest, I never do the full two hours, but to give you an idea about how the time can be allocated.

Construction:
Instructions 1 minute + building 3 minutes + debrief 2 minutes + deconstructing models 1 minute = 8 minutes

Metaphor:
Instructions 2 minutes, building 10 minutes, explaining 10 minutes, debrief 2 minutes +…[Read more]

Sean – love your gridcards concept, thank you for sharing! You might have seen that Tesla Amazing has come up with a novel idea about cards of different sizes that can be written-erased and that stick with static charge to just about any walls: http://teslaamazing.com/

Planning your day looks good. Given that thinking with your hands may be…[Read more]

Gabriel – thanks for your open description of your success and lessons learned. This is always the challenge for a facilitator – how to be well prepared, but still be ready to be flexible to changes during the session.

While you seem to be very critical about the process I would focus to what you have said – the client was happy about the…[Read more]

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]

Prima di tutto credo che bisogna essere prima facilitatori, poi imparare il metodo, per avere risultati di impatto per il cliente.
Un facilitatore professionale no si mette a vendere un metodo solo per dire che lo fa. In quel caso si certifica.

Peró …. e qualcuno lo deve dire un “peró” … forse c’é un valore a mantenere un album.

Penso al…[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]

Guys don’t fall into the numbers trap! What about keeping the company in business, rather than going bankrupt? What about creating a context in which products are developed more efficiently? 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]
