Buy LSP materials
To be able to use the LSP process you need the official LSP kits, bags and sets with special bricks, figures and connectors. These sets consist mostly of thousands of parts and cost up to 700 € per box. For a workshop with 8 participants, you need an Exploration Bag (about 360 € for 100 bags) for each participant and the Identity and Landscape Kit (about 700 €) for each team of 8. If you want to do business modelling or plan processes, you also need the Connections Kit for each team (approx. € 560). And maybe you would like to provide each participant with a personal Starter Kit?
Alternatively, you can rent the material from LeanSP.
