Exploring Systems Thinking

An engaging, hands on introduction to LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, ideal for those who have not experienced the method before.

The focus of this meetup will be part two of the introduction to systems builds, creating a landscape and exploring connections.

The underlying principles grounded in how human cognition works:

• what you build with your hands reflects what you know,
• what you explain to others consolidates and expands that knowledge,
• what you create together enables systems thinking that verbal discussion rarely achieves,

The real value of Lego Serious Play is the act of model-making, the process of giving shape to our thinking, surfacing assumptions, and creating a shared language.
Future meetups will explore systems thinking in more detail. This session will be part three of that adventure.

This meetup session is ideal for small groups of participants to explore the basic application techniques of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. We will explore building 3D models of ideas and concepts as an individual and as a group. The real value of Lego Serious Play is the act of model-making, the process of giving shape to our thinking, surfacing assumptions, and creating a shared language. You will become familiar with several methods of communication and learn to hear and understand others, all using LEGO!

What you will get out of this:

• Expand your personal network & make meaningful connections
• Engage in interesting topics & discussions
• Develop your empathy & listening skills
• Release stress & have fun!

Ideal for those who are interested in participatory leadership, better communication and creativity. If you are curious about the tool and want to know more, this MeetUp is for you.

The Creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct.
