My personal experience with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
As a Trained Facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method and Materials, I have witnessed in numerous workshops how participants quickly engage in open dialogue through playful building. You can hear statements such as:
“We have never seen it like this before!”
“It became much easier for me to express what I meant.”
In my personal experience, the greatest value of LSP is its ability to break down barriers—whether within teams, project groups, or during change processes. It really makes a difference whether you simply talk about a topic or make it visible with your hands.
