How to Play Seriously with LEGO®

LEGO® may be best known as a timeless building toy, loved by children and adults alike. But you may be surprised to hear that it can also supercharge your business. LEGO® offers something that board rooms can’t – it injects colour, both physically and metaphorically. It helps aid conversations you need to have on your important topics, such as culture, vision, risk, and systemic changes.

But this is more than just playing with LEGO®.

It is Katherine’s wealth of experience that really brings the magic here; she brings a level of expertise that will elevate any event. As a LEGO® Serious Play® certified facilitator, her in-depth knowledge helps deliver outstanding results.

Clients praise her energy, clarity, and ability to generate actionable insights. Whether it’s a team building workshop, a strategic planning session, or a risk assessment, Katherine helps navigate challenging topics with dexterity. Her ability to lock into her client’s needs means she can execute sessions that deliver long-lasting tangible benefits.

How Does It Work?

It can be difficult to fully understand how LEGO® can really help organisations deal with their most important and difficult problems. But this is where Katherine can help.

LEGO® Serious Play® gently challenges individuals and teams to physically build answers to big questions. It doesn’t require any experience or skill, instead utilising storytelling and metaphor to unlock interpretations and insights. As a tactile method, it encourages delegates to use the right side of their brain, working creatively, intuitively, and imaginatively as an individual or in a wider team.

One of its key strengths is that, because it doesn’t require any previous experience, it helps flatten organisational structures and ensures that all voices are valued equally, no matter the job title.

What is the History of LEGO® Serious Play®

It may come as a surprise to some to know that LEGO® Serious Play® was originally developed by the organisation over three decades ago, by utilising their own product to support strategy development. Since their initial success, the method has been opened to the worldwide community, and now specially trained LEGO® Serious Play® facilitators are using it in all industries, from coaching to therapy, to sales and HR.

How can LEGO® Serious Play® help us?

LEGO® Serious Play® is an incredibly flexible method, able to be used across range of topics. It works best with complex topics that have no right or wrong answer; it benefits from a range of perspectives, experiences, and reflections. For example, it is fantastic at facilitating appreciative enquiry around where you want to get to, exploring individual strengths, and clarifying your team’s value proposition.

LEGO® Serious Play® is a way to elevate your meetings, conferences, and workshops, making them interactive, insightful, and impactful.

In considering Katherine for your upcoming event, you’re not just hiring a facilitator; you’re gaining a strategic partner dedicated to ensuring the success of your initiatives.
