Why LEGO SERIOUS PLAY
In the mid 90’s LEGO was facing many challenges due to the rise of video games. They needed a tool to improve their strategy and creativity. LEGO worked closely with academics specialized in organizational strategy and developed LEGO SERIOUS PLAY. A methodology that uses LEGO bricks at its core but is so much more than just building LEGO. LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is a facilitation methodology that makes sure all voices are heard during meetings and workshops.
