Lego Serious Play: Fun for Effective Solutions

Within modern training trends, increasingly used by companies and groups of people or teams seeking to improve at a task, we find different techniques and tools to achieve such progress or goals. At dealerBest we also bet on innovative methodologies in our training courses based on learning by doing.

One of these innovative proposals we integrate into our training courses is Lego Serious Play, a methodology that, as its name suggests, is characterized by group learning and development through working with Lego pieces.

80% of brain cells are connected to the hands

This methodology is based on research that has shown that 80% of our brain cells are connected to the hands. This direct connection between the hands and the emotional area of the mind means that the head thinks better when the hands are busy. Therefore, integrating the hands into the development of thought and imagination makes Lego Serious Play a very efficient and powerful tool.

What makes Lego Serious Play so special?

Lego Serious Play taps into the creative part of our mind. It is a very efficient tool for change, accelerating the process of identifying, analyzing, and solving a problem, fostering decision-making, concrete actions, and the commitment of the people involved. In just one session, the proposed objectives are achieved in a very fun way and with the participation of all attendees.

Furthermore, Lego Serious Play has a very important purpose, which is to grow and learn by playing. This means that the most important thing is the characteristic of play, and that when a person does not feel observed, they open their mind and share more about themselves without fear of what other colleagues might say or think.

It has been proven in numerous situations that play works in the presence of bosses, advisors, or colleagues with whom there is less of a relationship. This is because play eliminates hierarchies and opens up camaraderie to new ideas. This atmosphere that is achieved generates trust and a desire to speak and listen more to the rest of the colleagues.

And it is this enthusiasm that allows for a rich debate when establishing solutions of all kinds.
