LEGO® Serious Play® Meetup: Creating effective Teams

A project team is a complex interplay of domain skills, working styles, and personality traits. It has been shown that the outcome of a project depends on how well a team works together.

Join us in this Meetup at the BU Spark! Space to look behind the scenes of a project team and its workings using the LEGO® Serious Play® team-thinking methodology. LEGO Serious Play is a play-based and proven hands-on tool to improve communication and creativity in a team environment. In a LEGO Serious Play session, LEGO bricks are used as a medium to build and to express complex ideas and thoughts through metaphors and storytelling. In response to build challenges posed by the facilitator, participants construct 3D models, give meaning to these models and share stories about these models. While building, unconscious knowledge is accessed, especially by using both hands. This process is a very effective way to unlock the full potential of a team quickly and deeply and at the same time a powerful way to solve complex problems.

LEGO Serious Play workshop participants consistently have been impressed by how quickly deep insights are surfaced through the hands-on methodology.

BU Spark! is an exciting initiative that creates a supportive community for student-centered entrepreneurship in computing as well as a suite of programs, activities, resources, and networks to help and empower students to pursue next-stage development of their ideas, concepts, and creations for innovative computing and data-driven technology.
