About LEGO® Serious Play®
LSP is a facilitated thinking, communication and problem solving method for use with groups. It uses LEGO bricks to build stories about the intangible ideas you work with in your business and brings them into the physical world through the use of metaphor and play.
Participants are led through a series of questions developed to suit the purpose of the workshop. Each participant builds his or her own three-dimensional LEGO model in response to the facilitator’s questions using specially selected LEGO bricks. These 3D models serve as the basis for group discussion, knowledge sharing, problem solving and decision making.
LSP taps into new neuroscience discoveries and the link between hand and brain. It draws on extensive research from the fields of business, organisational development, psychology and learning. It builds on learning theories of contructivism and constructionism – that we can build new learning in the mind by building in the world.
What this means in practice is that everyone participates all the time, thinking with their hands, listening with their eyes, surfacing knowledge they didn’t know they had and collaborating to create new shared knowledge.
