Building your community brick by brick

SCR helps  you achieve your goals by using the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) method to unlock new knowledge, break habitual thinking, create 100% engagement, and a commitment to outcomes.

 

Whether it’s creating a new vision, strategy development, attracting new enrolments, engaging parents, leadership building or team development; LSP provides a proven method that’s insightful, truly engaging, and it’s fun!

 

 

  The benefits of LSP:

  • deeper and broader understanding of issues in less time
  • faster and better decisions
  • more effective meetings and training sessions for everyone

 

What is LSP?

LSP is a facilitated meeting, communication, and problem-solving method. Participants are led through a series of questions, which go deeper and deeper. Each participant builds his or her own LEGO model in response to the facilitator’s questions. These 3D models serve as the basis for group discussion, knowledge sharing, problem solving, and decision-making.

 

The purpose of LSP is to maximise the full potential, insight, confidence, and commitment of all the people around the table.

 

 

SCR only has certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitators (certified by the Association of Master Trainers in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method). Only a handful in Australia have undergone the Association’s  Facilitator Training program conducted by  Robert Rasmussen, one of the developers of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

LSP for management teams, staff, and students

Create meetings or training sessions where:
  • everyone contributes their knowledge and opinions on a level playing field
  • honest dialog and collaborative communication are part of the norm
  • no one participant dominates at the expense of others
  • there is a need to grasp the big picture, see connections and explore various options and potential solutions
  • there is a need to make decisions that everyone commits to, and honours after the meeting, even though s/he does not agree 100% with everything
  • there are no excuses or lack of initiative after the meeting because participants feel they were not heard nor involved in the decision
  • to give all participants a common understanding and frame of reference that will impact their work together after the meeting

 

Can you imagine a meeting where everyone is involved?

 

This means:

  • more participation

  • more insights

  • more knowledge

  • more engagement

  • more commitment

  • faster implementation

 

 

Why does LSP work?

  1. LEGO bricks serve as a common language that all staff can use
  2. LSP produces more concrete ideas and results due to the hands on – minds on approach
  3. LSP ensures faster and better understanding because it uses 3D visualisation, metaphors and stories.
  4. LSP meetings stay on topic because the focus is on the bricks – not on the person.

Here the participants needed to work out their team issues.  Some felt the team was “going in circles and not communicating with each other” and the team supervisor was “distant and not supportive”.
