Harnessing the Power of Play at Work
What if you could harness the power of play—something we all knew but most of us forgot—to empower your teams, and at the same time help you realize creative and powerful solutions in the face of today’s business challenges? There is a tried-and-true process —Lego Business Play—that is guaranteed to expand your leadership capacity and deliver predictable and consistently productive results.
How It Helps
Lego Business Play is a facilitated team-thinking and problem-solving process in which you build Lego models in response to challenge questions, such as “Build a barrier to teamwork.” The process has a variety of applications that can be used for problem solving, strategy development, feedback, ideation, product development, relationship building, goal setting, debriefing, and performance reviews.
And the 3D representations create an easy to understand, level playing field where everybody has a voice and everybody can express his or her thoughts. It’s an incredibly effective way to get everyone’s ideas on the table and, together, develop a collective plan of action

How It Helps In Achieving Business Goals
The method is described as “a passionate and practical process for building confidence, commitment and insight”. The approach is based on research which suggests that hands-on, “minds-on” learning produces a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the world and its possibilities. It is claimed that participants come away with skills to communicate more effectively, to engage their imaginations more readily, and to approach their work with increased confidence, commitment and insight which leads to more success in achieving business goals.
