@Balint – I understand you have in mind the LEGO Architecture Studio 21050 Playset: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPPPCVM/?tag=seriousplay-20 ? Given that it consists of 1210 mostly generic bricks, plates and windows then looks like really an interesting idea how to combine it with Landscape and Identity kit to start constructing interesting landscapes.…[Read more]

Hi!

Have you ever used the Architecture (21050) set for LSP? I have the idea to extend it with some bricks from Identity kit, and somehow specify it for architectural needs…

Hi Juan,

I worked in the past with architects – both students and practitioners.
With one of them, we wrote an e-book on using LSP in co-housing – it’s free here http://b4bricks.org/media/handbook-for-co-housing/ sadly it’s in Italian, but maybe with Google translate you can read it easily.
If you have problems, please, let me know!

Marcos, thank you for this interesting question and thanks to the others for your contribution.

I presume that we have all been asked this a number of times. A decision maker who would like to see a proof that LEGO SERIOUS PLAY “actually works”.

I have used a number of examples from my practice. I was lucky that one of my first experiences was…[Read more]

Hi Marcos,

I did a four hours session recently in Hong Kong on a topic regarding business innovation using LSP. My audiences came from different industries background, I used “Real time identity for YOU” as a base (not all) and I found “reflection” (one of the core processes) is very important for participants to experience and understand value…[Read more]

Marcos,

others said it well and I totally agree with them: make it relevant and useful.

My only additional suggestion is to clarify that a public demo with many participants is not a workshop and that they will experience something very different.

The challenge for the facilitator, aka you, is to take then into the flow quickly.

In my…[Read more]

Thanks Sebastian, I appreciate the time you guys took to reply. I have been hesitant to talk too much about LSP and its benefits and magic in a “real” workshop, as I rather want the participants to discover it by experience, but in this case I agree it is necessary because of the bad experience that had in the past.
thanks!
Marcos

Hi Marcus..
Sorry about the bad experience dilemma you have. Been there and more than once!
Totally agree with Christopher.. whether demo or not the issue being discussed must be Real, Relevant and of Significant Interest to the participants. It does not necessarily have to be work related.. I have had success by posing questions related to…[Read more]

Christopher, thanks for your reply, I agree on the thoughts you shared.
I look forward to your suggestions/ideas. :)

best regards.
Marcos

Hello Marcus.

It is unfortunate that your colleagues had that experience. Without knowing the circumstances of your company’s team our request to you, I suggest that you not demand a session of 4 hours unless your company has a REAL problem, issue our opportunity that needs exploring. A 1.5 hour sessIon can be very effective at demonstrating the…[Read more]

Hi Eli,

I am also curious about how does LSP works for empathy.
Just a little add on to your doubts: empathic attitude is key issue during all the process of Design Thinking and all the approaches I know of it include empathy. The relevance of it might change according to the stage, but it is most proeminent during the first stage. IDEO calls…[Read more]

Dear Sebastian,

I hope you are doing well. Congratulations on getting this mandate. Some readers might not be aware that your “local TV network” may be broadcasting to up to 25 million people!

My first advice is not on method, but staffing. For 30 people, if you have not already considered it, I would strongly recommend working with a trained…[Read more]
