LEGO Serious Play at 1Mind

When challenges are complex, conversations alone are not enough. LEGO Serious Play is a facilitated methodology that helps teams think with clarity, surface what is usually left unsaid, and build shared understanding.

At 1Mind, we use LEGO Serious Play to support strategy, alignment, and meaningful decision-making. Our workshops are led by certified facilitators and designed around your real business questions, not generic exercises.

What LEGO Serious Play Is

LEGO Serious Play is a structured method developed by LEGO to help individuals and teams explore complex topics through building and storytelling. Participants create three-dimensional models using LEGO bricks to represent ideas, assumptions, relationships, and systems.

The models function as metaphors. By making thinking visible, teams are able to discuss difficult or abstract topics with greater precision and less defensiveness. Insight emerges through the combination of building, reflection, and dialogue.

Why It Works

LEGO Serious Play creates conditions for depth. Everyone participates. Every perspective is expressed. Hidden assumptions surface naturally, without debate or persuasion.

Because the work is physical and visual, teams engage both analytical and intuitive thinking. This leads to clearer conversations, stronger alignment, and outcomes that last beyond the workshop.

How We Use It at 1Mind

We do not treat LEGO Serious Play as an activity or a standalone workshop. It is a facilitation approach embedded within a broader arc of inquiry, sense-making, and action.

Each engagement is designed around a small number of carefully crafted questions. We guide teams from individual insight to shared understanding, and from shared understanding to concrete decisions or next steps.

The result is not just insight, but movement.
