What can Build Different do for you?
LEGO Serious Play Workshops
We use the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method to take a deeper dive into how LEGO can help you realize challenges, and build solutions to solve them. Designed from the ground up to suit your needs, these workshops are for facilitating up to 10 people, and can take place in as short as 2 hours, or as long as you might need! We can make sure it fits into the time that you have available.
Pop-Up Build Activations
Just need a chance to relax with your team, and spend some quality time together? We can set you up with all sorts of simply creative and fun workshops.
Sometimes, what feels like just playing together leads to thinking together, sharing together, and working together–all while learning something new about one another.
Literal team-building!
One-of-a-kind Kits and Builds
Looking to stand out from other organizations at your next conference? We can provide a custom kit just for you, designed from the ground up to represent your brand. This can be a small take-away kit that you can give out to all your attendees, or one large sculptural build that draws attention and starts a conversation.
What is LEGO Serious Play?
The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method (LSP) is an innovative, experiential process designed to enhance innovation and business performance. It taps into a team’s creativity, enabling them to create robust solutions for organisational challenges. Although the use of LEGO bricks in business might at first appear unusual, or even unserious, but it functions as a conduit to communicate advanced concepts and metaphors.
Participants in a LSP workshop will be guided through a brief intro period, covering the basics of building with LEGO, to ensure everyone has a basic understanding of the bricks and their connections. Then, as the workshop begins properly, they will be asked questions, provided prompts, and asked to build! They’ll use a wide range of LEGO bricks to create metaphorical representations of their experiences, perspectives, or conceptual ideas, bringing them into the physical space.
Your build will represent exactly what you say that it does, helping to literally piece together your thoughts, feelings, and struggles as an individual or organization. Each participant will have the opportunity to present their model, what it means, and why they built it as they did. There may be multiple rounds of follow-up prompts to change your build further, refining Models can even be combined or connected to one another, creating a real-time circuit of how one thought or idea directly impacts another.
At the end of your workshops, you’ll walk away with actionable outcomes based off of the models made and conversation had.
Many meetings fall victim to the Pareto Principle, where 20% of effort drive 80% of results. With LSP, we aim for 100% / 100%, where everyone has a contribution, and helps build toward the final goal, leaning in and taking part each step of the way. Having something to do with your hands help keep one focues–That’s part of why fidget toys have come to such prominence for professionals in recent years!
LSP plays with that concept in the form of “Hand learning,” which broadly refers kinesthetic learning, or learning through fine-motor manipulation. It relies on physical engagement and tactile, multi-sensory experiences to help the brain internalize and remember concepts better. What better medium for this than the LEGO brick? Sometimes, your hands will know what you want to build before your brain does. Clicking pieces together helps kickstart the creative process. And, you’ll never forget the lesson you learned when you can pick up the model you made with your team.
Build Creative. Build Radical. Build Different.
