“…During the workshops, an open atmosphere was created and the LSP methodology helped the team building task. Our experience confirmed what was observed in [18]: even though team building was not the primary goal of the LSP workshops, the camaraderie effect was pronounced. Finally, and perhaps most crucially, the participants had fun.…”

“…The small number seems to contrast with the great success of LSP: more than 10,000 LSP facilitators [14] write white papers/blogs, and dedicated events exist. LPS has been applied to teach the following SE topics: constructing organizational identity [15], requirements engineering and dimension and dependability [8,16], cross-domain stakeholderalignment [17], development of a shared vision of the product [18], and team building [19]. However, there is limited evidence on how LSP can be used in training on agile mindset.…”

LEGO ® SERIOUS PLAY ® (LSP) is an effective methodology to enable the representation of abstract concepts and has been applied to teach several Software Engineering topics. However, there is limited evidence on how LSP can be used in training on agile mindset, which is the core and central element of agile methods. This paper demonstrates how LSP can be utilized in agile training to reveal the agile mindset of participants. We describe our experience of utilising LSP in an agile training project for local software companies. Since the project was run during the COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted the LSP methodology for online settings, which was not straightforward because face-to-face interactions and tangible objects are key characteristics of LSP. In this experience report, we describe the design of the online LSP workshops and explain how to analyze LSP models to reveal the agile mindset of the participants and to tailor the training accordingly. We also provide evidence of the effectiveness of the LSP methodology in our training project. Drawing upon our experience, we synthesize a set of lessons learned and sketch recommendations for educators who intend to apply LSP in their future endeavours.

“…While initially developed for corporate strategizing and product or service design activities (cf. Pichlis et al, 2017 ), it is increasingly being used as a tool for academic research and higher education teaching (cf. James, 2013 ; Peabody and Noyes, 2017 ; McLeod et al, 2018 ).…”

Improving Inclusivity in Robotics Design: An Exploration of Methods for Upstream Co-Creation

et al. 2022

Disabled people are often involved in robotics research as potential users of technologies which address specific needs. However, their more generalised lived expertise is not usually included when planning the overall design trajectory of robots for health and social care purposes. This risks losing valuable insight into the lived experience of disabled people, and impinges on their right to be involved in the shaping of their future care. This project draws upon the expertise of an interdisciplinary team to explore methodologies for involving people with disabilities in the early design of care robots in a way that enables incorporation of their broader values, experiences and expectations. We developed a comparative set of focus group workshops using Community Philosophy, LEGO® Serious Play® and Design Thinking to explore how people with a range of different physical impairments used these techniques to envision a “useful robot”. The outputs were then workshopped with a group of roboticists and designers to explore how they interacted with the thematic map produced. Through this process, we aimed to understand how people living with disability think robots might improve their lives and consider new ways of bringing the fullness of lived experience into earlier stages of robot design. Secondary aims were to assess whether and how co-creative methodologies might produce actionable information for designers (or why not), and to deepen the exchange of social scientific and technical knowledge about feasible trajectories for robotics in health-social care. Our analysis indicated that using these methods in a sequential process of workshops with disabled people and incorporating engineers and other stakeholders at the Design Thinking stage could potentially produce technologically actionable results to inform follow-on proposals.
