IN A NUTSHELL

Lego® Serious Play® is a facilitated method for strategic decision-making, creative problem-solving and sense-making in complex environments designed to enhance team development, personal transformation and business performance.

Its goal is fostering creative thinking by building experiential metaphors of personal/group identities, aspirations and experiences using Lego® bricks as a catalyst.

For more than 10 years Lego® Serious Play® has been successfully used in business, education, people and team development in order to:

  • Co-create operational strategies

  • Decision making in complex system

  • Develop business models

  • Build a shared culture

  • Explore and develop group identities

  • Analyse and define shared goals

WHY IT WORKS

48197260491_cdb8ca5a87_o_edited.jpg

A Lego® Serious Play® workshop is a structured process where participants are asked to use Lego® bricks to build models representing their thoughts, reflections and ideas.

​

It is based on a set of basic principles: 

Everyone has a voice: everyone within a group or an organization can contribute to the discussion, and help generate solutions.

Think with your hands: bypass the biased thinking by “doing” first trusting your hands-brain connection, then reflecting & sharing, in order to enhance understanding and creativity.

The answer is in the system: leverage complexity and ecosystemic approach, since no one in the group has the answer to the challenge (neither the facilitator nor the group’s leader).

There is no "one" right answer: diverge, without boundaries, through different views and perceptions, and then converge to shared values and guiding principles.

HOW IT WORKS

Normally a Lego® Serious Play® workshop is at the same time closely regulated and tailor-made. Trust in the process should always coexist with a strong value and purpose driven facilitation. That’s why the workshop should be always led by a certified and experienced facilitator, who has the task to design the best possible experience together with the sponsor, and then to guide participants through the activities

​

The core process consists of 4 steps: 

Question: the facilitator sets a build question or challenge to the participants.

Construction: participants answer that question by building a Lego® model representing their vision about the challenge.

Sharing: participants share the story and the meaning of their own models.

Reflection: the facilitator guides the analysis of the models seeking deeper layers of insights.
