My LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Homework From #EISBCN12
Unfortunately, during my 20 minute presentation on Lego Serious Play at Event Innovation Summit, I didn’t have time to brainstorm possible uses of Lego Serious Play (LSP) at events with the participants. I was however asked the question, so I had some pending homework!
Attached my initial mind map – and because my handwriting is impossible to read – below the initial ideas.
Can you think of more?
Stands:
- Stand built from Lego
- Have a Lego table with lots of lose bricks simply so people approach, touch and build
- Have LSP sessions on view – adults building with Lego attract attention!
- Distribute bricks and have the clients visit your stand to build something. More = Bigger
- Charity link-up and bricks go to a special school after
- Lose bricks around the event with return to stand messages
- Brick trails on the floor
- ?
Clients/Visitor Interaction:
- Event design at briefing stage
- Stand design inspiration
- Client interviews at the event
- One to one sessions with clients
- Send challenge to clients before event
- Joint analysis of problem with a group of clients
- Creativity challenges – visitors make something different from same bricks
- ?
Large Group Talks:
- Motivate sales teams building their best pitches
- Creativity talks via LSP to inspire alternative thinking
- Mass networking between random participants at a table
- Business Speed Networking using LSP
- Have children present models responding to business questions for alternative insights
- Have all speakers present a model representing their core theme
- Tailor-made LSP sessions to fit core theme via building
- ?
Networking:
- Build model of your needs / interests and key words and leave it in central area with your business card
- Sort participants by speciality, distribute colours accordingly and call random (or agreed) combinations
- Have a Lego “fiddle” table with an LSP facilitator to casually kick off sessions
- Get participants to treat a common problem and get to a final group model
- ?
Client Specific:
- Speed coaching
- Open criticism / feedback sessions
- Brainstorming en masse
- New strategy design
- Team ID
- Team DAFO
- Aligning individual objectives in one group objective
- Inter-departmental coaching / feedback
- One to one rotating coaching
- Designing new processes and structures
- Break up boring technical training days with specific LSP slots
