Lego Serious Play Certification

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology is a facilitated thinking, communication and solution building technique for use with organisations, teams and individuals. It draws on extensive research from the fields of business, organisational development, psychology and learning and is based on the concept of "hands knowledge".

Sustinere reciproca

The methodology is based on a set of fundamental belief about leadership and organisations:

  • Leaders don't have all the answers
  • Their success is dependent on hearing all voices in the room
  • People naturally wish to contribute, be part of something bigger and take ownership
  • Allowing each team member to contribute and speak out results in a more sustainable business
  • Often, team work sub-optimally, leaving knowledge untapped in team members
  • We live in a world which can best be described as complex and adaptive.
