More examples from our training events documenting how versatile LEGO® Serious Play® can be.

  • Hard work and concentration – everybody’s in
  • Shared model of team cooperation
  • Workflow – reality vs blueprint
  • Nightmare of team collaboration
  • Team speeders vs team blockers
  • Show me the way
  • Proverbial “Elephant in the room”
  • Adaptation process reset

LSP is based on the following assumptions:

  • Leaders don’t have all the answers. Their success is dependent on hearing and engaging all the voices in the room.
  • People naturally want to contribute, be a part of something bigger and take ownership.
  • Allowing each member to contribute and speak out results in a more sustainable business.

LSP was developed as a way for groups to interact so that afterwards:

  • New insights have been uncovered and everyone’s experiences, knowledge, and understanding have been tapped into.
  • Team members feel more confident and motivated to act on knowledge that was shared.
  • Team members feel more committed to shared action.
