Hi Eli. Quick note, keeping it short not to distract from the original topic. I have empathy with your perspective. I also want you to understand that “seriousplaypro.com” is a great resource but literally one of very few that I deem credible – so my comments are not meant as an attack on you. I tip my hat to your experience and I assure you that I have a similar list. However – I still feel that in the world of LSP I remain isolated.

As for SLACK… nope. Never got in.

I have not read the book (yet). I would venture the following statement tho. I work in the design field myself and can only equate the statement to the same that is being said about design thinking.

Design thinking is being touted as the silver bullet for floundering companies desperately trying to ‘innovate’ through canned creativity. The amount of half baked master classes and paper prototype workshops for disgruntled employees is staggering. Design thinking is a beautiful framework and very effective when used as scaffolding but it can’t save the Titanic (the Captain/CEO ignored the market and sailed the ship into the iceberg mate).

I see LSP in the same predicament, let’s throw some bricks on the table and see if we can get our underpaid employees to innovate. The only thing with LSP that I find frustrating, unlinke design thinking for example, is that there seems to be an unwillingness to explicitly share the details of individual sessions and applications and approaches. This forum has been generous and a great resource, but everytime I want to use LSP for sometching I feel like I have to reinvent the wheel or get additional training to see how someone structured a ’workshop’ for alternative applications of LSP.

Thus, as a practice we can’t really critique each other’s work and help new facilitators move beyond their initial certification training toward more complex applications. While the method is open sourced, the application seems to be closed.

I have so many opportunities to use the method but I’m shying away from it due to lack of detailed reference (agile/scrum, design thinking, prototyping, business model, value proposition). For those not shying away from applying LSP for these challenges how do we know if they are doing a good job?

We are regulating who is ‘certified’ but not growing the application of the methods. Thus, the author might have a point unless you assume that everyone certified/uncertified out there is doing a sterling job.
