LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
Yes, it is THAT LEGO!
The one you used to play with as a kid (or still spend hours building with your own kids, on the weekends).
However, LEGO Serious Play (LSP) isn't just your average brick-building experience; whilst infusing an element of play and creativity into your team-building and workshop experiences, it also achieves real outcomes.
​
In a workshop that uses the LEGO Serious Play methodology, each participant builds their understanding of the topic at hand using LEGO bricks. From constructing models to creating shared landscapes, the process goes beyond words, allowing individuals to delve into the core of complex issues, challenges, and opportunities.
​
Picture a meeting room transformed into a creative hub where every participant, armed with colourful LEGO bricks, contributes to the conversation in a tangible and meaningful way.
​
​
How It Works
Build to Express:
Participants use LEGO bricks to construct models representing their thoughts and ideas. The process of physically building enhances cognitive connections and taps into different modes of thinking.
Storytelling Through Models:
The real magic happens when participants share the stories behind their models. This verbalization of the constructed metaphors allows for deeper insights and a richer understanding of individual perspectives.
Shared Exploration:
As the workshop progresses, models are combined, and a shared landscape emerges. This collaborative approach fosters a collective vision and enables the group to explore solutions and strategies together.
Why?
Elevate Engagement
Imagine your team fully engaged, actively participating in discussions, and building solutions together. LEGO Serious Play transforms ordinary meetings into dynamic, hands-on experiences that inspire collaboration and creativity.
​
Unlock Hidden Potential
The bricks become the language, allowing participants to express complex ideas and insights that may be challenging to articulate verbally. LSP unlocks untapped potential by providing a unique channel for team members to share their perspectives.
​
Break Down Communication Barriers
In the world of business, effective communication is paramount. LEGO Serious Play breaks down communication barriers by offering a shared language that encourages open dialogue and deepens understanding among team members.
​
Innovation Through Play
Play is not just for children; it's a powerful tool for innovation. By incorporating playful elements into your workshops, you create an environment where ideas flow freely, fostering innovation and leading to groundbreaking solutions.
​
Boost Team Morale
Team-building is at the heart of LEGO Serious Play. As individuals contribute their unique perspectives and collaborate on a shared vision, a sense of camaraderie develops, boosting morale and creating a positive team culture.
