Lego Serious Play: More Than Just a Game

Ever pondered a unique, dynamic, and outcome-driven method to tackle business challenges? Look no further than Lego Serious Play (LSP). This innovative approach, which uses a familiar childhood toy, can transform the way your team thinks, communicates, and solves problems.

Let me walk you through the LSP process. We all gather around a table, roll up our sleeves, and start constructing 3D models with Lego bricks. These aren't just colorful structures, but metaphoric representations of our ideas and thoughts. This hands-on, minds-on method then serves as a springboard for group discussions, knowledge sharing, problem-solving, and decision-making.

In the hustle and bustle of business life, LSP's unique method ensures everyone's voice is heard, fostering 100% participation. It's a roundtable of ideas where every perspective is valued, leading to a diverse array of fresh insights1.

LSP also unveils an avenue for authenticity. It's like a truth serum, making it hard for anyone to hide behind corporate jargon. The result? Genuine communication and a human connection that's often missing in corporate settings.

The beauty of LSP isn't just its innovative approach, but its effectiveness. LSP workshops have been reported to accelerate trust and consensus building up to three times faster than traditional methods. Efficiency and creativity, all wrapped up in one method2.

So, what can you take away from this?

  1. Enhanced Participation: LSP fosters an inclusive environment, encouraging each team member to contribute, leading to a diverse range of ideas.

  2. Authentic Communication: By visualizing thoughts and ideas, LSP promotes genuine conversations, cutting through the noise of corporate jargon.

  3. Efficient Consensus Building: LSP is not just engaging, it's also efficient, accelerating the process of trust and consensus building, saving valuable time.

As the global expert in corporate LSP workshops, I've seen these benefits come to life, transforming teams, fostering ideas, and helping businesses navigate their challenges with renewed vigor. It's been a game-changer for some of the biggest brands out there, and it can be for you too.
