Thanks Sebastian, I appreciate the time you guys took to reply. I have been hesitant to talk too much about LSP and its benefits and magic in a “real” workshop, as I rather want the participants to discover it by experience, but in this case I agree it is necessary because of the bad experience that had in the past.
thanks!
Marcos

Hi Marcus..
Sorry about the bad experience dilemma you have. Been there and more than once!
Totally agree with Christopher.. whether demo or not the issue being discussed must be Real, Relevant and of Significant Interest to the participants. It does not necessarily have to be work related.. I have had success by posing questions related to…[Read more]

Christopher, thanks for your reply, I agree on the thoughts you shared.
I look forward to your suggestions/ideas. :)

best regards.

Hello Marcus.

It is unfortunate that your colleagues had that experience. Without knowing the circumstances of your company’s team our request to you, I suggest that you not demand a session of 4 hours unless your company has a REAL problem, issue our opportunity that needs exploring. A 1.5 hour sessIon can be very effective at demonstrating the…[Read more]

Hi Eli,

I am also curious about how does LSP works for empathy.
Just a little add on to your doubts: empathic attitude is key issue during all the process of Design Thinking and all the approaches I know of it include empathy. The relevance of it might change according to the stage, but it is most proeminent during the first stage. IDEO calls…[Read more]

Dear Sebastian,

I hope you are doing well. Congratulations on getting this mandate. Some readers might not be aware that your “local TV network” may be broadcasting to up to 25 million people!

My first advice is not on method, but staffing. For 30 people, if you have not already considered it, I would strongly recommend working with a trained…[Read more]

Patrizia – there are 46 current members of our community who claim to be proficient to facilitate in Italian language: http://seriousplaypro.com/members/?s=Italian.

Let us try to see if they would be willing to join the discussions and see how to best take it from there. :)

I agree with you Marko!

I think that more than marketing and taking care for their business, the community is a learning opportunity – there are more applications, case studies, experiences involving LSP and those who miss the updates, also miss the opportunity to keep up to date with the trends and can miss opportunities.

If language is a…[Read more]

Patrizia and Eli – thanks for your points. It is a healthy debate to see how much should we keep the discussions in the centre and how much should be localised. A couple of additional points.

First of all. Provided that there is so far no topic interest for dedicated Lego Serious Play and Business Model Canvas forum, let us concentrate those…[Read more]

Hi guys,
I was curious about your mention of using LSP to create empathy in Design Thinking. While we may all agree that LSP might have the power to facilitate empathy, though I’m not sure that is its primary goal. If you look at IDEO’s main web site, they don’t mention empathy – it’s only when you go to their ideo.org site that you find them…[Read more]

Local communities seem less active than the big forum.
but I think the role of the moderator is to bring any relevant issue or interesting question that emerges into the local communities to the attention of the community at large. (so that non speakers of the other languages don’t have to get a crush course in French/Spanish/Italian and we are…[Read more]
