Complete Guide to LEGO® Serious Play®: Transform Team Communication Through Hands-On Collaboration
At its core, LEGO® Serious Play harnesses the neurological connection between our hands and brain. When teams "think through their fingers," they activate neural pathways that remain dormant during conventional discussions, accessing knowledge and insights that might otherwise remain hidden. This scientifically-backed process helps externalize abstract concepts into tangible models that everyone can see, discuss, and understand.

Understanding these traits helps in appreciating the diversity within any team. Each person's unique blend of abilities and values can create a more cohesive and effective group dynamic. During our LEGO Serious Play sessions, we often see that the key takeaway for participants is how these varied strengths build uniquely within the team, fostering a deeper understanding of each other.
Unraveling Thoughts: LEGO Serious Play for Goal Setting
In a recent presentation on play, I shared this exercise as a way to view a goal in a unique way- by using LEGO bricks!
Step 1: Build YOU
Step 2: Build your goal - what is it you are trying to achieve
Step 3: Build the most likely barrier to your success - place it between you and your goal.
Step 4: Build how you will prevent this barrier or overcome it.
Although this isn’t technically LEGO Serious Play - You are using the elements of metaphor, 3D, and mental offloading to better understand your scenario. Imagine how much more powerful this could be if done in a group! (Hint- A lot!)
Unlocking the Mind: Achieve Clarity with LEGO Serious Play
Your mind is a messy attic…
There is a ton of stuff being stored up there and you can't always access what you want.
With objects, we can mentally offload information onto them, allowing us to see, rearrange, and even play with them, providing new perspectives and a deeper understanding. You also get benefit of externalization.
On top of these benefits, we get something called detachment gain. According to Daniel Reisberg, this is the cognitive benefit we receive from putting a bit of distance between ourselves and the content of our minds
Using LEGO Serious Play with Entrepreneurs and Future Builders
What is the problem that we are trying to solve? What is the solution and why is it unique?
What is our kryptonite- the most likely failure cause for each of us?
What is a piece of advice we can give ourselves to avoid that failure point.
This is the true power of LSP - We learn from ourselves, we learn from others, and we dive out of reality to gain a new and better perspective on how to best move forward before diving back in.
The benefits- Communicate succinctly, Listen with curiosity and wonder , and use 3D to understand goals, barriers, and the path forward.
