Marko Rillo replied to the topic In search for THE definition in the forum
Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoPatrizia and Per,
Thanks to both of you for a great discussion. It might be indeed a good idea to gather in September and even spend some time on definition building. However, if we are unable to define the LSP for our purpose more precisely then I would say that there is nothing wrong with that either. If we are not too strict in our expression…[Read more]

Martin van Dijken replied to the topic VAT? in the forum
Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoAh, 1 question sort of answered. I just received an invoice from Lego Denmark. The strange thing is that the invoice is in Dutch, with the Dutch VAT percentage (21%, DK apparently has 25%) and the bank that is listed is a Dutch bank.
Getting more and more confused :-)

Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoHey all,
After receiving my certification from Per, I am now every excited to get started on my first workshop. I ordered 10 starter kits and a box of exploration kits from the Lego online store. It has been shipped, so happy about that.
Question though: how does it work with VAT? There is no VAT mentioned on the invoice and I can’t even tell…[Read more]

Patrizia Bertini replied to the topic In search for THE definition in the forum
Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoI was thinking exactly the same thing :)
It could be a very interesting experience, given the different and divergent applications we comply LSP for.
So, trying to converge may be an interesting exercise!Cheers,

Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoThanks Per!
Well, the moment you ways it’s a process, you define it, yet it’s vague.
I feel LSP is a kind of elephant – hard to describe but easy to recognise when experienced.LEGO is not enough to define it in its essence, application varies. core values receive different emphasis…
It’s like the tower/bridge exercise: we all know what those o…[Read more] -

Serious Play Pro Forum 10 years, 6 months agoHello everyone!
The premise: I recently went to a workshop that encouraged people to ask stupid questions. So, I have been starting asking stupid questions and build on them.
So, despite being engaged with the bricks by 5 years already, I have just realised that I could not find THE official definition of LSP.
There are amazing definition out…[Read more]

Hi Simon, I am curious about your challenge. Here are some of my questions: Is this a conference or a workshop? If it’s a conference, how will you be using LSP? Will you be demonstrating the methodology or do you have specific business objectives to address? Will all 150 conference participants be taking part in the LSP activity? How many…[Read more]

Hi Simon. I agree with Eli. Its very important to understand the overall output desired. If it is a reasonably complex question then you need a trained facilitator and assistant facilitators for every 8 to 12 pax. Alternatively train a person at each table as a facilitator for the day. I have done both. Just did a workshop on collaboration and…[Read more]
-
Simon, adding to the above (with which I am perfectly aligned), my experience with large groups, whether it is an intro to LSP or an actual delivery, is that music should be avoided, relatively small groups (6 per table) makes it easier to align, that sharing rounds are shorter, skills building is as always important, and finally that each…[Read more]

hi Dr. Abeer,
How many participants will be there? Depending on the number and your goal, you can try different exercises.
Always begin with the tower/bridge challenge. And then move towards discovering the metaphore.
You can try with the duck building if you want them to understand the particularity of each participant. Or you can try the…[Read more]

Many thanks Patricia
I will have about 25-30 people for 1 hour
any ideas?
thanks for the reply

As Patricia has already pointed out – there are lots of different applications out there for short interventions. It depends greatly on your location, the type and size of your group. If you would fill us in about whom do you plan to deliver the taster session then we would be happy to brainstorm with you how to make it work.

Many thanks Marko

thanks for the reply-
Hi, Dr. Abeer. Not too much time. It’s always important to help the group get used to the bricks, through building the tower or the bridge. Then, you might make them build a free model and one of the models from the booklet. And that’s almost it, with an hour.
Good luck!
-
With this size of a group and this amount of time I would give a short introduction and make every person play with the contents of a window exploration bag. You can choose to put people in groups of 4/5 and make them do some small excercises like building a tower to experience ownership, building small metaphors using a same starting point and do…[Read more]

Am with Wiro on this. in one hour, do a quick tower, followed by the explain this, and then something a bit personal or relevant to the theme. Make certain you have time, 15 min or so for a bit of discussion and sharing of how LSP works in companies

Quick reply, the approach I have used at Pegasus and other conferences is a robust skills building followed by a relevant AT1 challenge, and then a bit of supporting theory and finally case examples.
It is very much following the experience – explain principle
Happy to share more, if or when needed-
Thanks Per, Do you have further info re the Pegasus conference or any further information for short LSP introductory sessions
thanks

Hi Mark,
sorry for the late reply!
I would make a distinction between LSP core and its derivative applications. Legoviews (which I have been doing in several context different from the initial experiments in Palestine) in NOT LSP, it’s a derivation as it lacks many elements of a workshop.
Perhaps we don’t need a definition, but perhaps defining…[Read more]
