Episode 8: Lego serious play for transformation
My guest today
Suleander Zahn spends his time changing hats between being an Agile Coach, mentor, trainer, but his preferred one is the hat of a facilitator. He is part of many agile related communities, organising meetups face to face especially in Portugal, but some online too. On the personal side, he also likes changing actual hats (He owns a small collection of them). He also enjoys long walks in the nature. But when playing and facilitating with Lego bricks, those are the moments when he completely bonds the Professional and Personal sides into one.
Our topic: Lego serious play for transformation
“Your hands know things that your mind never imagined or that at least you didn’t know you knew”. Lego serious play is a problem-solving method. It allows you to tap on various sources of your creativity and join forces with your colleagues when solving a team challenge, designing your vision, transforming your team or organization, or developing your strategy. A facilitator guides you through four core steps: 1) facilitator poses one question or challenge, 2) everybody in the room builds something with lego bricks answering the question/challenge, 3) everybody shares what they have built, and 4) everybody reflects on what they have shared, what the others have shared and what they have discovered in the moments of building, sharing, and reflecting. We repeat these steps many times during one session, and we go through seven application techniques. We go from individual models to shared models where we combine the models of various participants. We move from stories to metaphors to get in the end, what we call some real time strategy, overall guiding rules, or principles. Get out your bricks and join this hands-on journey with us!
