Workshop
Lego Serious Play™
Real Time Strategy Using Lego Serious Play
 
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is an innovative, experiential
process designed to enhance innovation and business
performance for organisations and businesses, based
on the idea that "hands-on, minds-on learning
produces a deeper, more meaningful understanding of
the world and its possibilities".
Through a process which involves modelling metaphors for the organisation in
Lego pieces, the Lego Serious Play process develops imaginative thinking,
communication skills, confidence and insights.
It is a known fact that hands-on learning produces a deeper and more meaningful
understanding than merely reading and listening. The human mind is designed to
work in three dimensions. Our brains can only handle so much information at
once, and through using our hands to explore ideas we can surface a lot more
information, understanding and consensus than we ever thought possible.
Through creating three-dimensional landscapes, the application of the Lego bricks
become metaphors for real situations organisations are facing.
What Will be Covered?
• Introduction and theory behind Lego Serious Play;

What communications,
processes, Will be Covered? services, core competencies (e.g. are we
more like a fortress or a race car? Small and dense? Large and
interconnected);
• What does the business landscape look like in which we operate: the
suppliers, clients, competitors, and their interconnections?
• Who do we want to be? Creating possible future histories. Identify
opportunities for innovation and growth;
• Identify the GAP between the now and the ideal within the context of
the landscape;
• Identify specific action steps and projects to overcome the GAP;
• Assign roles and ownership. Create commitment to projects with clear
deliverables and timelines.
