#072 What is the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method - Per Kristiansen

The Oliver Schirach Show

In this Episode of #TheOliverSchirachShow, I got to talk to Per Kristiansen one of the very first employees working on the development of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method back in 2000

We got to talk about:

• He describes himself as: Playful (Exploring, safe space), Predictability & Integrity => Boundaries, so people know what to expect from Per
• Flow requires certain boundaries
• His story from being a vine merchant to become a partner and co-founder of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method
• Background in Management, Consultancy, Business Change Management etc
• How he got into LSP
• The story of LSP and why LEGO® didn’t shout it out into the world. But let it grow slowly
• It started as a strategy workshop
• What is LSP? A problem solving technique
• It’s a language. A communication technique. People tend to answer too fast and do not really think.
• How our brain processes information
• How LSP and LEGO bricks help thinking and problem solving (7-10min block to think, 3D Information, Metaphors, Modularity of bricks and elements)
• Who profits to use LSP? It’s a language. Everyone profits in a way

The 4 Step Core Process of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.

1. Core step 1: Posing a question: the facilitator poses a question or challenge
2. Core step 2: Building a personal model: Everyone builds their answer to that question using Lego bricks. The available bricks are designed to inspire the use of metaphors and story making
3. Core step 3: Sharing the model: Everyone is invited to share their model with the other participants. This ensures 100% participation and 100% distribution and understanding of the knowledge.
4. Core step 4: Reflecting on the model: Try to distil some insights, points of attention, clarifications in relation to the model.
