                              – use your visual sense to grasp and understand even
                               more of what the other participants are describing

                              1. Build a model describing what went well
                              2. Build a model describing things that we
                                 should start or stop doing

How does Lego Serious Play work?
                              • Much of our brain’s activity is dedicated to
                                the manipulation of our hands
                              • When we model with our hands and tell
                                stories there is more neuronal activity and
                                better suffusion of blood to critical areas of
                                the brain
                              • 70-80% of our brain’s nerve endings are

                                connected to our hands

                                                                                 26
How does Lego Serious Play work?
                              • Psychological Flow: Individuals gain most from
                                a learning process when they are committed
                                to and enjoy the process

                                                                             27
The Facilitator
                              • Creates Open-ended building challenges
                              • Gets the group’s dialogue to serve its purpose
                              • Makes the reflections and dialogue process
                                easier
                              • Helps participants express themselves
                              • Asks clarifying questions

                                                                             28
Participants’ Etiquette
                              • The Lego model is your answer to the building
                                challenge
                              • There are no wrong answers
                              • There is no ONE right answer – everyone has
                                different views
                              • What the model looks like is not the most
                                important thing
                              • The meaning attached to each model is what
                                makes it valuable
Martin Sandberg, 2013-04-14




                              • The Lego models are tools and means to an end

                                                                                29
Group Size
                              • Roughly 4-8 people per group
                              • One workshop group requires one facilitator
                              • It is generally not possible to facilitate two
                                groups ‘side by side’ because each group
                                would need focused attention from the
                                facilitator, at the same time

                              • Put bowls of Lego bricks in your meeting
                                rooms and see what happens
                              • Combine Lego Serious Play with other
                                facilitation techniques
                              • Play around with the Lego bricks and invent
                                new challenges
                              • Get your workshops to a flying start by
                                starting with Lego Serious Play to get people

Food for Thought
                              • How come executives love playing with Lego?
                              • Why do we associate work with ’serious’ and play with ’not
                                serious’ ?
                              • How can you use Lego Serious Play when you have
                                distributed teams?
                              • Is Lego Serious Play still ’serious’ when it is used in schools?
                              • What is a ’lean in’ vs. a ’lean back’ meeting?
                              • How long can you keep your fingers away from a pile of
                                Lego bricks (e.g. in a meeting room)?
