Lego Serious Play (LSP): Making change tangible with hands and Lego bricks

Everyone has probably held the classic Lego toys in their hands at some point. The popular building block system made of colorful plastic bricks, with which houses, vehicles and other things were assembled, is probably mostly associated with children playing. However, Legos can also be used in a professional environment. Lego Serious Play (LSP) is a facilitated process that incorporates, works with and applies the benefits of modeling and playing with Lego bricks in a professional context. This specific method is strongly linked to the aspects of storytelling. The special Lego materials form an essential part of this.

This can be used, for example, to optimize teamwork, develop new business strategies, assess crisis situations and put together appropriate solutions. The so-called Lego Serious Play (LSP) facilitator is an essential component of such a facilitated process. He/she guides and accompanies the participants of such a workshop, training or coaching session through the creativity and exchange process.

The advantages of Lego Serious Play (LSP) can be summarized as follows:

  • Modeling with your hands encourages creativity and innovation.
  • The tangible Lego models improve communication.
  • The knowledge and experience of all participants can be incorporated into an LSP workshop.
  • Lego Serious Play (LSP) can be used to promote a shared understanding of the topics discussed.

The advantages of this moderated process are primarily used in applications such as target group analysis, decision-making processes, value proposition, change, design thinking, organizational design and corporate culture. Are you interested in the topic and methodology of Lego Serious Play (LSP) and want to find out more about how it is used and how it works?

Questions and answers

The LEGO® Serious Play® method is used in companies, in teams or by individuals to promote new ideas. This method can also be used to improve communication and accelerate problem solving. Unique, sustainable and practical solutions to complex issues can be developed through this innovative process and a special type of facilitation technique. Areas of application include problem solving, idea development, innovation development, strategy development, brand identity, product development, team building and change processes.

The Lego Serious Play Set, for example, is the Connections Set, which is intended as a supplement to the Starter Set and the Identity and Landscape Kit. This is suitable for a group of 10 to 12 workshop participants. It contains connections and connecting elements, as it focuses on relationships and connections in the business world. This allows interdependent factors and effects to be highlighted and their potential for change in the system.

Of course, Lego Serious Play Online is also possible. The knowledge can be acquired via eBook or online training. Workshops can also be held online. However, it should not be forgotten that physical meetings can have a positive impact on the process and naturally simplify certain procedures and discussions.

A Lego Serious Play Kit is designed for one person to use as a program to improve their business skills using Lego bricks. Larger kits receive additional special elements such as rods, spiral tubes, ladders and fences as well as helpful sorting trays. The Lego Window Exploration Bag is suitable for shorter workshops of less than 3 hours. It contains many different colors and shapes as well as special elements and minifigure parts.

Logically, LSP Lego also comes from Lego itself. However, it was developed in collaboration with the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne (the IMD). The aim was to develop a method that offers unique solutions to bring out the full potential and creativity of a team or an entire organization. The LSP method is based on the latest knowledge of systems thinking, brain research, strategy and game development.

The Lego Serious Player is a participant in Lego Serious Play and can work on complex topics together with others. With fun and simplified presentation via Lego, they can get their points across more clearly and also better understand the other perspectives of their fellow players. Workshop developers or facilitators are called LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitators.

The Lego Serious Play Starter Kit contains a large selection of Lego bricks. It covers everything needed to run a workshop and provide an introduction to the LSP methodology. The kit includes a selection of standard Lego bricks combined with some Duplo elements as well as a selection of special elements such as wheels, tires, windows, trees, minifigure parts, tubes, spheres and small baseplates. You also get simple building instructions for models to build your own Lego building skills.

In a Lego Serious Play workshop, Lego bricks are used to develop a common language that everyone can use. This allows things to be discussed - regardless of experience, position, education or culture. This makes it possible to explore and share everyone's knowledge and insight. In this way, everyone is actively involved in the decision-making and solution-finding processes. And the focus of the answers is on stones and not on answers - this takes the pressure off.

The advantages of an LSP workshop are as follows:

  • Lego bricks make it possible to get to the heart of the matter quickly
  • Lego models (as condensed but information-rich metaphors) can also illustrate complex issues in a clear, understandable and memorable way
  • the safe environment (playful version as training & workshop) makes it easier to address and discuss critical points
  • In-depth dialog enables better decisions to be made in less time
  • the development of ideas is reduced to a few intensive days together

If the models - i.e. the answers to the questions - do not match the task, the Lego Serious Play questions need to be tweaked. This is because the connection between goal, task and reflection is important. And it takes some practice to find the right questions. Basically, the following aspects are important for Lego Serious Play questions:

  • Open
  • With a clear focus
  • Answerable for everyone
  • Individual
  • Positive
  • Considering the past, present and future
  • What and how questions
  • Asking for personal views
