"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

LEGO® Serious Play® Certified Training Partner

Between April 27th and the end of the month, I was in Billund having my brain re-assembled by a brand new iteration of LEGO® Serious Play®. Posing itself as the “golden standard” for the methodology, it was developed by Johan Roos, one of the original co-creators, in collaboration with Inthrface, one of the excellencies in both deliverying trainings and facilitating workshops. I am now a proud partner, and I can deliver this training myself, focusing mostly on the Italian territory. This is awesome, because for years I’ve been asked by managers and coordinators if I could teach them to run workshops themselves, and I didn’t feel I was qualified enough to do so. Now I am. A brave new world awaits for those who’re willing to upskill.

In the picture, you can see my fellow facilitators from this new wave of training: the astonishing Kolawole Osinowo from Nigeria, ready to conquer, the beautifully bright professor and engineer Nadine Ibrahim from Canada, Vincent M. Boscaljon from the Netherlands, walking on fire, Pedro M. Cappelle from Portugal, with his colourful mind at work, and my sister Natalya Kuzetova from Kazakhstan, with whom we share so much more than the haircut. It’s always incredible how much fellowship and energy can arise from a group of people united by the same goal and the same committment to growth and quality.

The Discipline of Inspiration: Valéry and the Algorithmic Mind

Paul Valéry rejected inspiration as miracle, seeing creativity as the discipline of thought in motion. This week, we parallel his notion of mental “operations” with computational procedures in design: iteration, optimisation, constraint, and recombination, and challenge the dichotomy between intuition and automation. Drawing on contemporary
