It begs the question: would a digital equivalent work just as well? What does the physical version bring - 3d? If this helps to visualise the data, are there decent tools for collaborative 3d graph editing that include the ability to move the camera, etc.?
The article says:
"Next up we tried an Excel document, but no one looks forward to tracking their time in an Excel document. We wanted something visual and tactile. Something that would cause conversations to happen and be fun to use."
which I totally take on board, but the lego equivalent, however fun it might be, just might not always be practical. Essentially, I'm thinking is there an equivalent that's less like Excel and more like Minecraft ;-)
- sokoloff 9y agoThe physical version brings a level of ritual/ceremony that I suspect is helpful. It's the discussion and change out of the digital into physical that's more value than the colorful output I suspect.
- ccozan 9y agoWhat if, instead of normal Lego bricks, someone designs a "smart" brick and a "smart" Lego Board, so that while you add bricks of different colors, and put on different columns, it creates a digital twin on a server, that is nicely displayed on a dashboard of your choice? Same fun, right?
