Hola Patricia,

thanks a lot for your suggestion….actually I was thinking about doing some kind of exercise with the duck, too. What you say is a great idea…Unfortunately there will be no time to share

Hmmm. I’m not a Mar/Comm/PR consultant, so I would never profess to advise on specific criteria for that vertical segment. As a management consultant, I would be looking at:

Hi Eli,

Thank you for your answer. Indeed, I agree that to LSP is a very strong tool to a brand in gaining blue sky ideas, prototyping services, brand architecture and so on, but it needs other tools and

hola Carlos,

I once made the audience build the duck, using the Window exploration bag. Do they have the chance to share their observations? This is the richest part.

Hi Alina,

Dear Carlos, you mention “blue collar” workers. The only time I had a genuine “blue collar” worker, who was an assembly line team leader, in an LSP workshop, the results were very surprising.

Dear Carlos and Walter,

The political power comes from the sponsor, not the facilitator. The sponsor has brought the

Carlos: that’s quite a challenge. How much LSP methodology buy-in from the company do you have? That may be a key factor in following Eli’s suggestions.

Eli: yours would absolutely be the best way. Few

Eli: that is a terrific design.
Carlos: are there limitations on time?
what other logistical constraints do you have?
Sounds like the biggest challenge will be the *personal* SGPs you describe as “key” –

Hi Carlos,
