Hello,

It is important to have an issue / key question around which you will built your questions.
Starting from questions around the actual situation of the team and then progressively having questions which let you go to the answer of the key question / issue of the workshop.

Without a central theme, it is difficult. Or you have an…[Read more]

Hello Gabriel,

Lately I didn’t participate a lot in the forum, but I am trying to start again. I am also located in Montreal, I started with LSP few years ago, and I am available to help you. For some reason, I am not in the list of Marko’s link, but I am living in Montreal :)
So far, you got very good comments from Marko, Eli, Bruce and others.…[Read more]

@Gabriel – as a follow-up to Eli’s comment – there are 4 other facilitators in our community who are from your neighborhood in Quebec or Montreal: http://seriousplaypro.com/members/?s=Montreal – perhaps it is indeed worth getting in touch with them?

Gabriel, my two cents…
You mentioned the group was going to be 20 participants, I would do one of these 2 scenarios:
1- Split the group in half and have 2 separate sessions.
2- Have them all together in the room but use a facilitator assistant so you can have 2 tables of 10 working at the same time, you give one general instruction or…[Read more]

– Introduction by you to LSP methodology, rules etc (10-15 min)
– Warm up skills building exercises (20-25 min)
– First individual…[Read more]

Dieter,

I believe that longer sessions happen quite frequently.

This r…[Read more]

Probably yes, because what you would need in this situation is probably quite extensive exchange on those ad hoc individual approaches that those individual employees have taken so far.

The main concern that I would have – is the time enough for this type of discussion given lots of diverging thoughts about the sector directions among the…[Read more]

Gabriel – that is very interesting assignment you have been invited to assist. It goes beyond the core application of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY in trying to take steps in determining particular strategic choices for the firm. Hence – I see two potential scenarios for you.

One possibility is to frame the approach by using the Business Model Canvas…[Read more]

Thank you Marko, Debbie, Patrizia, Sebastian and Christopher!!

all your comments were useful for me, let me tell you that the session last month went great!
They were 10 participants and half of them knew each other and the other half didn’t (even though they work in same company). I went through the classic warm up, and included in my workshop…[Read more]
