What is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methodology?
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles into one uniquely creative and powerful approach. It teaches people—both introverts and extroverts—to think with their hands and better communicate their ideas, allowing a greater flow of information. People actually get to hear and see what others are saying. And this is the perfect tool to get everyone excited about thinking creatively. Everyone bonds and actively participate as they problem solve together, all while having fun in an environment that encourages free idea generation.
Used with clear objectives, LEGO® Serious Play® is a way to improve communication and collaboration allowing all to participate in the work. It brings energy and focus to meetings and workshops.
LEGO® Serious Play® enables the great potential of the collective untapped mind to create shared, and sometimes unexpected, insight in service of realizing desired outcomes.
