Unlocking Creativity and Collaboration with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) is more than just a tool—it’s a transformative process that taps into the power of hands-on learning and storytelling to foster creativity, collaboration, and insight. Whether you are an individual looking to explore new ideas or an organization seeking innovative ways to solve complex problems, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® provides a unique and engaging way to uncover solutions and inspire action.

Why LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®?

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a facilitated process designed to help participants build models that represent their thoughts, challenges, or goals. By physically building ideas, participants are able to think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and gain new perspectives. This method is incredibly versatile and can be applied to a variety of contexts, including:

• Problem-Solving and Strategy Development: Visualize challenges and create shared understanding in a tangible way.
• Team Building and Collaboration: Strengthen relationships and build trust among team members as they work together to build solutions.
• Personal Development and Reflection: For individuals, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® offers a hands-on approach to self-exploration and personal growth.

For Organizations

In a world where innovation and collaboration are key to success, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® offers organizations a powerful way to:

• Enhance Team Collaboration: By building together, teams break down silos, improve communication, and discover new ways to collaborate.
• Foster Innovation: LSP helps unlock creativity and innovation by engaging participants in thinking "with their hands" to create models that represent complex ideas.
• Solve Complex Problems: Teams can explore challenges from multiple perspectives, enabling them to find shared solutions that are built collectively.

Using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, I guide organizations through workshops that address real-world challenges, strengthen teamwork, and generate actionable insights.

For Individuals

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is also an incredible tool for individuals seeking personal growth and development. The process helps participants explore their own thoughts, aspirations, and challenges in a creative and reflective way. Through LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, individuals can:

• Explore Personal Strengths and Values: Build models that represent who you are and what you want to achieve, helping you gain clarity and direction.
• Unlock Creativity: This hands-on process taps into your creative thinking, allowing you to approach personal challenges in new and innovative ways.
• Create a Visual Story: Use the power of storytelling through LEGO® models to reflect on your journey and visualize your future.

How It Works

During a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® session, participants use specially selected LEGO® bricks to build 3D models in response to a series of questions or challenges posed by the facilitator. Each model represents thoughts, ideas, or solutions, and serves as a starting point for deeper discussions and reflections.

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® process is grounded in several core principles:

1. Thinking with Hands: Engaging the hands while building leads to new neural connections that unlock creativity and deeper thinking.
2. Building Shared Meaning: In organizational settings, the models serve as powerful metaphors that help teams align around shared goals.
3. Inclusive Participation: Every participant has a voice. Through the process, everyone contributes to the discussion, making it a highly inclusive approach.
4. Creating Insights: By reflecting on and discussing the models, participants can gain new insights and perspectives they wouldn’t have arrived at through traditional approaches.

Workshops and Sessions

At ConnACTion, I offer customized LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® sessions for both individuals and organizations. Each workshop is carefully designed to meet the unique needs of the participants, and can focus on topics such as:

• Organizational Strategy and Problem Solving
• Team Dynamics and Trust Building
• Personal Development and Reflection
• Creativity and Innovation

Why It Works

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is effective because it engages both the logical and creative parts of the brain, allowing participants to explore new ideas and perspectives in a way that is fun, interactive, and deeply insightful. The physical act of building models helps break down mental barriers, allowing for more open conversations and fresh approaches to problem-solving.
