Hi everyone!

You know how it is: you run a few workshops and for one reason or another one you might end up keeping a kit or two. Fast forward a couple of years and you suddenly have 10 lbs of discovery + some starter kits left, all mixed up.

I usually use batches like these when I have big workshops and I add them to either the landscape or…[Read more]

Hi all,

I’m asked to facilitate a customer insights sessions. A little inspiration as to how to set up a session like that would help me a lot. Has anyone done this before and could you provide me with some ideas on questions to ask and the set up of such an LSP-workshop?

Thanks a million!
Dennis

Gabriel started the topic Desperately Looking for Starter Kits – Ship to Canada in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 7 months ago

Hello friends,

I have a LSP workshop in three weeks (needs to arrive in Canadian location by Monday May 22), and am desperately looking for 12 stater kits. They are backordered in Canada and US. So I was wondering if anyone has any they are willing to depart from. Please advise and we can take it off line for details.

Thank you so kindly

Gabriel

I am considering purchasing the LEGO Exploration bag. It is sufficient for a 100 participants. I only need enough for 25 participants and wondered if there was interest in members splitting the LEGO pieces and cost with me. This would be particularly helpful if you live in Toronto as I can drop off the LEGO to you. The cost for the 100 pieces…[Read more]

Thanks for all your advice. The client finally decided to make two half day sessions instead of a daylong one. We already had a very successful first session. I allowed the participants 2 minutes to explain their models, which proved to be adequate.

Participants and client very satisfied. I never cease to be amazed how powerful this tool can…[Read more]

Dear Christian
I calculate the time that 1 person requires, then multiply by the total at the table, so a 1 minute presentation, I would allow 12 minutes for this exercise session. As a result, with a room of 23 people, the time will have been reduced by 50%. With tables of 6 people, the time would then be 6 minutes.
Hope this helps, don not…[Read more]

Dear Alejandro and Francine, thanks a lot for your advice. Very useful!

If I understood it correctly, you recommend to limit the participant´s “explain time”. What what would you consider to be an adequate explain time if there are 11 to 12 people in each table?

Regards from Madrid

Hi Christian !
I have facilitated LSP sessions with 30 + people, on my own, dividing the group into tables that vary between 6 and 8.Additionally, I use hourglasses to time and make sure I manage time closely.
the introductory exercises are essential, then each team regroup and works together, and once they have defined their perspectives on the…[Read more]

Hey Christian, how are you? I mostly work with smaller teams, never more than 12 people when I can, but every now and then a larger group comes in. This is how I’ve approached those workshops, after consulting with trainers and more Sr. facilitators:

1. Try to recruit at least 1 more facilitator to keep that 1-to-12 ratio when possible.
2.…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I will be facilitating a daylong session for a team of 23 people. They want to define and agree the team´s mission, values, objectives, etc. Starting with individual models and then negotiating shared models.

I´ve never facilitated a team with more than 10 persons. So, my question is: is it possible to build shared models (e.g., t…[Read more]
