LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is an engaging, creative, and collaborative approach to facilitation using LEGO bricks and elements to help cover serious topics and solve complex problems.I’ve used LEGO in training. Is this the same?
I can’t say for certain that what you were using wasn’t LEGO SERIOUS PLAY; however, I can be fairly confident that it wasn’t. There are some great exercises out there which use LEGO bricks and elements but not all of these are considered LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.I’ve never played with LEGO bricks before (or for a long time). Will I be at a disadvantage?
Not at all - in fact, it might even put you at an advantage. You will be guided through a skill-building element at the start to give you all the competency you need in building, storytelling, and metaphor so that you can best enjoy and learn from the experience ahead of you.
