Team Building with a Difference: The Impact of LEGO® Serious Play®


Effective teamwork and problem-solving skills are crucial for success in today's fast-paced business world.


Teams are working with Lego Serious Play

Companies constantly search for innovative ways to foster collaboration and build stronger, more cohesive teams.


As a trained facilitator of the LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) methodology, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact it can have on teamwork and problem-solving within organizations.


Join me as I share my journey and experiences with this innovative approach.


The Catalyst:

My fascination with the power of LEGO® Serious Play® began when I realized that conventional team-building methods often left participants uninspired and disengaged. I yearned for a solution that could ignite creativity, improve communication, and foster a sense of unity among team members. That's when I discovered the colorful world of LEGO® bricks as a catalyst for change.



Participants use Lego Serious Play to create something special in their teamwork

Unpacking the LEGO® Serious Play® Difference:


At its core, LEGO® Serious Play® is about harnessing the hands-on power of LEGO® bricks to unlock the potential of individuals and teams.


It's not just about building structures; it's about constructing ideas, stories, and solutions.


Here's how it works:


  1. Hands-On Engagement: Participants roll up their sleeves and use LEGO® bricks to construct tangible models representing their thoughts and concepts. This interactive approach stimulates both analytical and creative thinking.

  2. Storytelling: Each model becomes a vessel for personal narratives. Participants share the stories behind their creations, leading to a deeper understanding of individual perspectives.

  3. Collaborative Dialogue: LEGO® Serious Play® fosters open, constructive dialogue—discussions and reflections during the process result in new insights, shared goals, and innovative solutions.

  4. Visual Thinking: Visual thinking, a cornerstone of LSP®, allows teams to explore complex ideas in a visual and easily understandable manner, making it a powerful tool for tackling intricate challenges.
