What is the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methodology?
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a technique where people use LEGO® bricks to follow a series of structured exercises through building. The builds represent metaphoric personal or business challenges.
The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method is based on a set of fundamental beliefs about leadership and organizations:
- Leaders don’t have all the answers. Their success is dependent on hearing from everyone in the room and realizing traditional ways of working together do not always offer an opportunity for each person to express critical insight.
- Sustainable advantage come from experience, knowledge, and imagination. Wise leaders recognize and strengthen these attributes in their organization.
- People naturally want to contribute. They want be part of something bigger and take ownership for a more sustainable business foundation and delivery of strategic objectives.
- There is untapped knowledge in every organization. Teams work sub-optimally leaving untapped knowledge and complexity in daily work.
The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method is a fun and creative method for organizations to unlock the potential of everyone in the room. It is a way for employees and leaders to break down communication barriers, learn from each other, while becoming more collaborative and cohesive business partners.
