Unleashing full potential with the 100/100 approach

How does the

LEGO SERIOUS PLAY

method work?

The LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method is a thinking & problem-solving technique developed to unleash full potential in the individual and in the group.
It is used for any sort of complex issue with no easy or obvious solution. It is used across various types of organizations and age groups whenever there is a wicked problem and the full brain power needs to be applied.
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is a very simple process where everyone is actively contributing. It starts with a facilitator asking a serious business question.
All teams members are then building individual answers with the LEGO bricks and sharing their stories, insights and new ideas that are coming up with the whole team. Everyone has the opportunity to ask questions, to get a better understanding and to have joint team reflections. We call that a 100/100 approach. It means that everyone is really 100% working on the solution, and 100% present and contributing – which happens rarely in the normal business world.
The core concept behind? ‘Hand knowledge’ – the fact that through activating your hands new insights and understanding are unlocked.
70% of our hand nerves are directly connected to our brain. In LEGO SERIOUS PLAY workshop settings we take maximum advantage of this neurobiological superpower.

Core beliefs about leadership

Foundations of the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method

LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is based on a set of fundamental beliefs about leadership and organizations:

Everyone contributes: Leaders don't have all the answers, and success depends on hearing every voice in the room.
People are invested: People naturally want to contribute, feel part of something bigger, and take ownership.
Knowledge is shared: Unfortunately, teams often underperform because valuable team member knowledge stays untapped.
Adaptability is key: Encouraging everyone to contribute with their ideas, leads to more sustainable businesses.
New ways to create powerful strategies

Origins of the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method

At the end of the 1990s, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, owner of the LEGO Group, sparked the idea of using bricks in their own boardrooms for creative solution finding. He joined forces with two professors at IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. Their goal? To find new ways for companies to plan strategies
They saw the value of employee input and the need for adaptable plans. This led them to a unique approach: using LEGO bricks to build 3D models representing business challenges. This innovative method became known as LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, which is nowadays applied in many different business areas from team coaching and innovation processes to future-scenario planning.
Per Kristiansen, Trivium Managing Partner, was part of the project development team inside the LEGO Group at that time and is one of the co-creators of the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method.

Commitment for Execution

It means that through the highly inclusive co-creation in the process there is a strong commitment for implementing new ideas in daily business.
