In 2022, I completed the process of becoming a SERIOUSWORK Certified Facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, which I use in my one-to-one coaching and in team and group coaching.  

​

The purpose of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is to change “lean backward meetings” to “lean forward meetings” , where the result is more participation, more insights surfaced, more engagement and, ultimately, more commitment and faster implementations.

​

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method (LSP) is a facilitated thinking, communication and problem solving technique used around the world with organizations, teams and individuals. It draws on extensive research from the fields of business, organizational development, psychology and learning, and is based on the concept of “hand knowledge.”

​

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is based on a set of fundamental beliefs about leadership and organizations:

​

• Leaders don’t have all the answers

• Their success is dependent on hearing all voices in the room

• People naturally want to contribute, be part of something bigger and take ownership

• All too often, teams work sub optimally leaving knowledge untapped in team members

• We live in a world which best can be described as complex and adaptive and allowingeach member to contribute and speak out results in a more sustainable business

​

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method is not based on any new or ground breaking science. Instead it is grounded in action research and evidence drawn from a range of existing science disciplines and proven research within these fields. The dominant disciplines are Constructivism, Neuroscience, Flow, Play and Imagination.
