Stephen Dann replied to the topic Online LSP training – Remote facilitation in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 4 years, 6 months ago
I have delivered a session across three campus – a remote individual, a local class, and a remote class. We pre-mailed out the LSP kits to the individuals (starter kits in this case, so I got them back at the end), but you could, if budget, lead time and mail service permit, send out window exploration sets as non-returnables.
To add to the…[Read more]

@Francine
I should put up a picture of my office. The entire back wall is boxes of lego boxes. I’ve been using the Adafruit (Large Tin With Clear Top Window) as my cases for individual window kits, and found they stack really well into a travel luggage organiser in blocks of 32 – instant 8 teams of 4 options. I also have the sorter sheet over on…[Read more] -
Stephen Dann replied to the topic How Important is Exploration Bag Kit? in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 4 years, 7 months ago
I always start with one kit per person. I run a couple of preset routines in my workshop where everyone having the same pieces is super useful for the experience. For example, a 15 brick exercise, with 5 compulsory bricks, (Set A or Set B), and free choice after that – everyone has a similar starting point for their builds, and a wildly…[Read more]

I use it quite extensively as a many-users, many-teams kit, where I have a large audience and I want to ensure that everyone in the room has access to the same hardware. It’s a much smaller package – 49 pieces per unit, and quite different from the Starter kit. I do have the inventory of both kits available on my mecabricks page if you’re…[Read more]

Stephen Dann replied to the topic Party favour question – window kit as a takeaway for conf participants in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 4 years, 8 months ago
I’ve done a few give-away sessions with the LSP kits, and I’ve got a few exercises that I use which come with preset printable instructions, so if you’re interested, you’re more than welcome to use a couple of the activities.

I believe I can help out with this one.
Over at Mecabricks I have a set of LSP Window kit models – https://www.mecabricks.com/en/user/stephendann and over at my website there’s a copy of the manual I use – http://stephendann.com/lego-serious-play-resources/

Hiya
I have a few models set up in Mecabricks – https://www.mecabricks.com/en/user/stephendann – for the Windows Kit, and some support materials designed to do instruction round based building – http://stephendann.org/lspevents/
That can get you a start

I’ve used a mix of creativity kits for story telling exercises – like the :Select six bricks, any six bricks, now build a model of the world’s best just using those bricks.
Kits I’ve got in my mix
* Creative Builder – Windows and Doors make for good insta-metaphors, and they’re loved by the participants.
* * Creative Supplement – this…[Read more] -

Stephen Dann replied to the topic Duplo or No Duplo, that is the Question … in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 5 months ago
The only time I drop the duplo out of the set is entirely to do with the space and baseplates I’ll be using – if I’m dropping people down to a smaller baseplate, or we’re likely to have less elbow room, I’ll pull out the bigger pieces. Otherwise it’s all in, and everything counts – I’ve added the Duplo Numbers Train to my kit for the…[Read more]

Stephen Dann replied to the topic Eye tracking and LSP in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 7 months ago
Thanks for the feedback. The position I’m coming from is the use of the Tobii Pro 2 glasses during a small group workshop using the LSP Window Explorer pack. Of interest to me is the eyetrack on the model during conversation and explanations. Secondary interest is the build process – particularly for the metaphor section where people use on of…[Read more]

Stephen Dann started the topic Eye tracking and LSP in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 6 years, 7 months ago
Ollo comrades! Has anyone encountered academic or practitioner studies that have used eyetracking during the Lego Serious Play process? A conversation emerged with my eyetracking colleagues in our lab about using eye-tracking glasses during an LSP event, and I was curious as to the existence of prior experience in the area amongst our community?

Backing up what Eli said about the split being beneficial – a team build in a 4×4, then 2 x 8, then 1 x 16 structure will have each group having a chance to generate multiple iterations of their models and explanations.
It might be worth tasking each team with explaining their group model, and the listening teams with a note taking exercise so…[Read more]

The booklet I have up at the moment is a single page (double side), Canadian Letter sized piece that goes in with the kits. Affectionately, it’s in the Table for Six format (two teams, A and B, participants 1 to 6). Files are available from my site

I’ve done workshops with parallel tables using the Window Exploration Bag/The Serious Duck, and one of the things that I’ve found valuable for managing parallel tracks is to have bag labels – if you’re laying out 60 tables worth of Window Kits, and those kits come a printed page identifying the participant (Player 1, Player 2 etc), then you can…[Read more]

Stephen Dann replied to the topic Question about bricks management! in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 7 years, 4 months ago
Ziplock bags and resealable bags have been my best asset for porting and sorting the Lego kits. I’ve converted my starter kit boxes to resealable bags, and this has meant that I can add Kit labels, team labels, session names and details. Same for my collection of LSP ducks, and the LSP window exploration kits – small ziplocks and a handful of…[Read more]

Hi there. I recently did run a three location LSP workshop using video conferencing. It’s a challenge, and it takes some background preparation (including, in my case, background mistake making), but it can be done. I had a split of 8 local, 3 in remote location 1, and 1 in remote location 2. From what I’ve heard, everyone felt they got…[Read more]

An option, if they’re asking for a short exercise with a common outcome.
Depending on what the scope of the exercise (and the venue), you could pull together a Lego exercise using the Duck Kit (6 bricks x 300 people).
You’ll be best friends with the Lego Pick a Brick feature, and I’d suggest that what you want to do is select a wide range of…[Read more]
