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]

Hi Luc

Just a quick comment from me. People don’t want LSP.

They also don’t want a meeting, workshop or awayday.

They want an outcome.

Focus discussion on understanding the outcome they desire, then once thats clear establish what tools, methods or processes are suitable for helping them get the outcome they desire.

I find people seem to value…[Read more]

Hi Luc,

The good news is you’re getting meetings, you’re doing demo’s and they are understanding and seeing value in the method… up to a point.

From what you said the real problem is taking that next step and showing how it can solve major strategic issues. If you can show that, then the other issue of the method being perceived as a toy…[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]

I haven’t done any LSP workshops (certified in dec ’14), so I cannot refer to those… Numbers can help, but I would already be grateful to have one or couple business cases in which C-level decision makers used the method successfully to decide on strategic topics.

I cold heartedly agree with Eli, don’t “fall into the numbers trap”. The way I work around this is by bringing up all the workshops I have conducted in the past, with or without LSP. LSP is a tool, and a great one… but the secret is the facilitator. Also depending on the type of clients you are dealing with, I learned so far that some will catch…[Read more]

Eli, I understand what you say and I agree with it 100%, but sadly the market in Eastern Europe ask for exact numbers (most of the time). Thinking in short term, profit maximalization, cutting spending wherever they can, almost 0 imagination, employees don’t matter, 0time for LEGO. It’s crazy… The tendency is getting better. In numbers: 1st year…[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]

Dear Luc!

I have the same problem time to time. What worked for me so far:

1. I always bring some pictures about a network, product development, where they can see the connections between the assets/ parts. What especially works is if you put these models onto a Business Model Canvas. Normally they know that, they see tons of connections (aka…[Read more]

Thanks Stephane and Robert! Very helpful :)

Hi Kimpong, as I remember, the weight is a bit less than 8KG. Regards

Hola Carlos,

Por definición, al menos en mi caso, las piezas de lego son herramientas que se utilizan para facilitar una dinámica. Por lo tanto, al finalizar se recogen y se devuelven a su maleta.

Es cierto, que existe la posibilidad de que el cliente genere un vínculo muy fuerte con el modelo que construye y te lo pida. Esto es algo que pu…[Read more]

Thank you so much!! :D
