What differentiates Trivium is that all partners bring along +15 years of personal leadership experience paired with a deep understanding and practice in creative problem-solving techniques and systemic thinking approaches like the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method, which is used as a signature tool across industries.
Typical examples for Trivium project engagements with the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method in Switzerland are:
- Team alignment sessions to agree on a common set of team values, define team collaboration standards or create a shared team vision & purpose.
- Future scenario testing workshops to develop strategic foresight and prepare for acting under uncertainty.
- Post-merger culture transformations with the goal to harvest the best of both worlds in terms of values and ways of working.
- Strategy design sessions to explore external market opportunities and combine it with internal know-how for a competitive market positioning.
- Innovation labs to explore breakthrough pathways for product development, working processes and creative design for successful market differentiation and business development.
Philosophy
Trivium’s core belief is that the answer for most business challenges lies already within the system. That’s why collective intelligence plays a crucial role in every process. We engage all participants to express and share their thoughts in a creative way with LEGO bricks and leverage the philosophy of constructionism to unleash individual brain power and consolidate it through storytelling within the group. What matters most for us: Every voice in the room is heard!
Multilingual Facilitation
Due to four national languages spoken in the country, language choice also plays a major role when it comes to business workshops in the Swiss market. One of Trivium’s key assets is multilingual facilitation of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops in English (serving international corporations), German (main language in 60% of companies) as well as French & Italian to serve all client needs in the country. Beatrix Daros, the local partner for Trivium Central Europe, who is based in Zurich is fluent in German and English herself. Trivium Italy partners Daniele Radici and Fabrizio Faraco support with native facilitation in Italian. French-speaking workshops are conducted by local network partners from the French-speaking region.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops and leadership trainings are provided across all major cities in Switzerland rooted in a deep knowledge of the Swiss corporate culture and close connection to local industries through the experienced facilitation team.
