hi Massimo

We will absolutely do another global conference. We are back in Billund in October (3-4th). I think you missed the 2016 conference, which explains why you didn’t know. We will post about it soon’ish

hi Hugues

I have done this a couple of times, and the most surprising thing is that you do not have to adapt, or at least extremely little. The key difference is in how visually impaired see things, as my sponsor said it “but we see, we just see with our hands”. Thus, give the listeners time to feel the model, before or while the builder is sharing. If you create a landscape then similarly let them really feel where they place the model and make certain they talk while placing.

Also, when opening boxes, make certain they have a moment to feel the bricks, just like when sighted have a moment to visually see what is there

In two occasions I also played emergence, and that worked as well

Good luck and enjoy

hi,
I have a bit of experience with this, and know of some experiences done previously by the LEGO Group. There are certainly some challenges in creating 100/100. Calendar permitting, I would be happy to participate

hi
Furhter to Onno’s post, consder putting this line to it

LEGO®, the LEGO® logo, the Brick, Knob configuration and the Minifigure are trademarks of the LEGO Group.

And, be carefull with the writing of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY inside the other colour and in grey color. This could be intepreted as a violation of the logo and trademark

Dear Alexander

The short answer would be that the sets are costly but not expensive. The kits, in particular, the connections kit contain a lot of special elements that are expensive to produce. Historically, LEGO has kept the same margin on the LSP products as on any. In periods it has even been lower, but I believe that it has been adjust to the normal level the last few years

Hisham
Sorry if I missed your call, I am doing a training in India, so am a bit unavailable

Your questions can be answered from several perspectives: 1) From LEGO trademarks and 2) From the Assocation of Master Trainers

I will try to the real broad outline, and then would be more than happy to speak on the phone

Generally, what LEGO care about is that we use the trademarks correctly and that when we do workshops we follow the method, and they encourage us to use the “right” material in the “right way, e.g. using new starter kits or exploration bags for a new process

Training of Facilitators: From the perspective of the Assocation, you cannot train others using the material that you got from your own training (this is in the terms of use). And, when we in our business deliver our training sessions for it to carry the Assocation logo it has to follow the four days outline.

I hope this give an idea of the big picture, then there are all the details and ideas. As mentioned would be happy to speak. Tomorrow is Day 2 on the Certification Training, so I am done ca 17.30/5.30pm local time (Mumbai)

Jon,
Little to add to the rich answers from Joyce and Marko, only want to share that I have found it important to keep the documentation as close to their language as possible, i.e. really use the metaphors and keep them alive. This helps carry the result into the workplace afterwards
Good luck

hi Patrizia

Indeed

Could perhaps also be topic for a building exercise at a break out session at the LSP days later this year…

A presto

hi Patrizia
Your question is far from stupid, however it may have two sides to it:

Do you mean what defines something as LEGO SERIOUS PLAY – in that case we would often turn to the core process. If one does not adhere to the core process, then it is not LSP

Do you mean defining what it does or is, ie a method etc – in this case we often talk about it either as a langauge; or problem solving and dialogue method that unlocks the full potential. In our forthcoming book Robert and I talk about as a method that helps groups go beyond 80/20 meeting, helps break habitual thinking and helps to lead to unlock (potential and potential)

As to do we need a definition, I do believe that agreen in what defines it is essential, and I venture to say building our time at LEGO we (The Association of Master Trainers) have settled on the core process. For defining what it does or is, this is probably also important, but may be more fluid, partly due to langauge differences, partly because as we all get more experiences about what the core process can do then we get a better and broader definition.

This was as far as I could stretch my brain on a Saturday morning

Play well ;-)
