Who are we?
We are StrategicPlay partners located in North America and Europe. We were part of the former LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY™ partner program with the LEGO Group in Demark. Since 2007, our international community has been working together through co-creation where we have further developed the method. Since 2009, we have been offering "StrategicPlay® Fundamentals" training for a facilitators, based on LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.
Why does StrategicPlay® work?
StrategicPlay® is based on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY™, and has been strategically enhanced through the intergration of more creative and playful methods and offers the following:
-
Externalization of mental models: Unspoken, unconscious knowledge and assumptions are disclosed and examined. Through the neutral view from the outside and differing perspectives, the team easily recognizes new opportunities and options in the system.
-
Identification through visual language: Using images and artifacts, the facilitated method enhances the identification of what was discussed (ownership). The participants enjoy building a shared language and understanding.
-
4dimensional thinking: Three-dimensional models and landscapes support a deep understanding of the complexity and succes factors of the system. With "time" as 4th dimension we simulate developments and scenarios within the system.
-
Fun: The commitment to change increases with the emotional involvement and personal contribution during the problem solving process. Using our playful approach we can gurantee 100% engagement.

How could a StrategicPlay® Workshop look like?

Imagine being able to visualize all aspects of a brand identity, OR all relevant succes factors and stakeholders of a complex project, OR you can review in a snap shot a complex crisis scenario. All this is possible using this process to create ONE model that illustrates the working system.
-
The tool allows everyone on your team to bring his/her expertise and experience into focus for all to understand.
-
You can simulate and learn from random scenarios in order to prepare for the future of your company, team, or project.
-
From this you can distill information in order to lead your team or project to success: goals, dependencies, critical success factors, risks, etc. are explored and addressed.

The group will emerge with a mental model and shared understanding of the current situation where possible future scenarios have been considered. This is the best way to develop a resilient strategy!
