The document discusses using LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology to facilitate understanding between groups. It involves using LEGO bricks to build 3D models that represent ideas, helping participants communicate concepts in a hands-on, engaging way. This strengthens collaboration by promoting listening, constructive dialogue, and shared understanding. The methodology allows groups to creatively develop solutions to complex problems and ensure common insights and focus.

Case: Business Model Canvas. Use LEGO bricks to build a three dimensional representation of your business model. We used this methodology to help start-ups gain a strong and common understanding of how each of the elements of their business model fit together. The participants could actually see what their colleagues meant as they described the elements of the business model canvas. Lessons Learned: The actual words you use to describe a concept, idea or solution can be important Our language can be interpreted in subtly different ways The BMC requires you to capture big ideas with a few words Gaining alignment on understanding is harder than it seems Lego Serious Play is a tool that can gain alignment, build a shared insight and focus the team on what needs to be done

Case: journalistic interviews (not our case) LEGOviews (LWs) are journalistic interviews based on the LSP method: they do not much differ from traditional interviews in the aim, though they deeply differ in the cognitive mechanisms and in the process. Most of the best interviews we can think of deeply delve topics in an argumentative way and the interview, in most cases; it’s a dialectic and intellectual fight between the two parts.
Case: Building Vision (not our case) 160 Estonian visionary thinkers and opinion leaders used LEGO bricks to build country vision. 1. A group of individuals from a think tank described 4 potential regional future scenarios. 2.To get inspiration for creative vision-building the participants listened to a number of lectures. 3.During the second half of the day the participants received LEGO SERIOUS PLAY exploration bags to come up with their vision. They were sitting in tables of 10, each lead by qualified instructor. 4.3 minutes to build their individual models: “How do I see Estonia in 2018″ 5.Each one described their models to the other members of their group. 6.The groups spent an hour to come up with shared vision and identifying primary success factors. 7.Finally a number of groups presented their understanding to the other participants.
