LEGO® Serious Play® in Practice, what happens when the room changes

This year we invited four practitioners recognized in our LEGO® Serious Play® Global Facilitation Excellence Awards — from education, corporate strategy, community work and one-to-one coaching, to walk us through the real session behind their entry: the design decisions, what shifted, and what they'd do differently.

Tuesday, 20 October · 3:00–5:00pm CEST · 2:00pm BST · 9:00am EDT · via Zoom

Meet our speakers and their topics

Each was recognized in our inaugural LEGO® Serious Play® Global Facilitation Excellence Awards. These are the sessions they entered.

Emilie Brix · LEGO Foundation, Denmark

"What's new at LEGO® Foundation and the use of LEGO® with adults" A view from inside the LEGO® Foundation on its work and its research into the value of play and bricks, and what that evidence means once you're facilitating with adults.

Dr. Adam Cebulski | Dr. Lindey Koch · United States

"The Duck Pond: The Metaphor That Outlasted the Session" — Several retreats had failed to get this team talking. This session did it, and the central metaphor became a leadership framework the team kept using long afterwards, including to decide its own membership.

Natalie Kirkoroglu · Switzerland

“Three Hours to Break the Silos: Alignment Under Pressure” — Natalie had one three-hour window to turn a newly restructured, multi-country leadership team at a global fashion brand into an actual team. The client reported better collaboration weeks later. She'll also bring a contrasting case: a Swiss brewery aligning on a growth strategy..

Saad Bin Tariq · United States

“Building Equity in Tech: The Method on a Conference Stage” — Saad took the method somewhere it rarely goes, a conference program. His session at the Google NYC / MLT Conference drew the highest registration and rating of roughly sixty on the schedule, and led directly to work with Ally Financial and StackCon..

Livia Szekelyhidi · United Kingdom

“A Table for One: The Method in 1:1 Online Coaching” — Livia brought the method into one-to-one coaching, delivered entirely over Teams, no group, no shared table. It worked anyway. At the end, the client asked to keep the bricks..

Why attend?

See the method stretch

Most of us learn the method in one context and stay there. This conference is a chance to watch it work somewhere unfamiliar — and to steal the parts that transfer.

Our speakers this year facilitated for a single coaching client and for a hall of sixty. They worked with school principals, with a multi-country leadership team mid-restructure, and with tech professionals at an industry conference. Some had three hours. Some had a full academic year. One had a Teams window and one person on the other side of it.

Each will take you inside a real session: how it was designed, what actually happened in the room, and what the client did afterwards.
