Course Description

This innovative facilitated process fosters creative thinking and participants in exploring and re-thinking connections and systems. The human mind is designed to work in three dimensions. When our hands are used, we engage an increased portion of our minds. For the scientific community, this is a well-established fact – yet we tend to predominately use two-dimensional mediums like paper and visual presentations.

Through this method of facilitation, participants communicate more effectively and engage their imaginations more readily to take dialogues to deeper levels. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY™ is a way of using 3-D metaphorical models of issues and challenges to visualise strategies that were formerly opaque.

The process draws on substantial theories from the fields of psychology and behavioral science including insights and research into theories of Constructivism (Jean Piaget) and Constructionism (Seymour Papert).

Key benefits of this LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY™ facilitation process are

• Ensure that all voices in the team are heard, even those who are less assertive;
• Use the visual and detailed models as the basis for team discussions that gives insights and provide valuable significant new ideas and visions;
• Cut to the core and avoid entrapment in theoretical roundabouts;
• Lead to accelerated understanding and generative, creative thinking in teams;
• Show team members that their creativity and innovations bring to the business is highly valued;
• Test scenarios to uncover “hot spots” that are impacted by a large number of probable events and to understand how the system reacts under different conditions;
• Imagine the unimaginable!
