    Eli De Friend replied to the topic Augmented Reality LEGO: Virtual LSP applications? in the forum Group logo of Serious Play ForumSerious Play Pro Forum 7 years, 6 months ago

    Hi Jody,
    A few years ago, I actually explored the possibility of using AR/VR and the existing LEGO tools to support the following Work Flow:

    1. Workshop participants come together in a physical co-located space and build real world tangible models.
    2. Workshop facilitator or sponsor photographs/films the model and uploads it into the LEGO…[Read more]

    Today I discovered that City of Cape Town in South Africa has announced a public tender. They are recruiting a LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology trainer to deliver a 2-day training event for their 35 staff members.

    I won’t bother to repeat what Sebastian has already said, but will be a bit more rhetorical. How did we learn that the shapes (that we call letters) “d” “o” “g” represent a four legged mammal with a tail that it wags when it’s happy and that those same shapes/letters in a different sequence represent the supreme element of our belief system? As…[Read more]

    Hi All,
    This is a subject that I take dearly to heart. Some of us in the LSP community were practising years before we finally got certified and I am sure that there will always be a percentage of professionals who discover the methodology and start using it successfully long before they decide to attend a formal training session.

    I am also offering certified training courses, but admit that the word “certification” on this market is misleading. Criteria for certification is just survival for 2-4 days at the training. The reason I offer certificates is that many people coming from corporate setting suggest that they need this as the evidence of attendance.

    There is no…[Read more]

    Rick. What a sad loss and what a kind and thoughtful way of remembering Onno. He was such a lovely chap. Very engaged and active LSP practitioner. Thank you for sharing this.

    Hi Rick,

    I never had the chance to meet Onno.
    This said, is sorry to hear this news. And of course, a great way to honor him.

    Our friend, and LSP facilitator Onno Kruitwagen died last month. Last week i led a remembrance ceremony at the LEF future center, where we both facilitated..

    Although I use LSP, it was Onno who was really captivated by the method, like no other facilitator I knew.

    This is when I decided to use Lego in the remembrance ceremony.

    What we did is…[Read more]

    I agree with scott and alan.. the focus on certification is in that sense weird, since lego decided to make it open source… I am a certified facilitator (cps) from the IAF and written quite a bit on this method.. so i regard myself as a lego facilitator (as well as a facilitator with many other tools), without being certified by one of the…[Read more]

    Hi Jaime,

    How much time in total do you have?

    Have you thought that the warm-up in sort way can be considered as the beginning of a team building exercise? :)

    It is true, in the end the certification is not indicative of quality either. The important thing is the experience: the amount of workshops given, the shared skills, the successes and the failures obtained. Everything adds up and together we make it more powerful.

    Honestly my concern came from a workshop that I have seen announced by a person…[Read more]
