What is LEGO® Serious Play®
and Why Does It Work?

LEGO® Serious Play® is a hands-on method for thinking, communication and problem-solving developed by the LEGO Group. Participants build models with LEGO bricks in response to specific questions, then explain what their creation represents. This structured approach supports genuine participation, active listening, and honest reflection that might not happen in traditional meetings. It helps people slow down, think clearly, and have conversations that really matter.

Certified Expertise
You Can Trust

James Anderson is a certified LEGO® Serious Play® facilitator with over 40 hours of accredited training in the method. Since LEGO open-sourced the approach in 2010, it's become freely available for use across education, public services and facilitation work. Our experience combines this proven methodology with deep understanding of team dynamics, strategic planning and community engagement challenges.

Real Applications Across Different Sectors

We've successfully used LEGO® Serious Play® to support team and leadership development, strategy and service planning, youth voice and participation projects, reflective practice sessions, and community engagement work. The method is adaptable, inclusive and genuinely useful, especially when trust, clarity or collaboration are needed. Whether you're planning a team away day, developing strategy, or engaging with communities, this approach creates space for thinking that traditional meetings often miss.

At Resolution Ready, LEGO® Serious Play® fits naturally within our broader facilitation and rights-based work. We've seen how it helps organisations create more inclusive spaces for decision-making, supports genuine participation, and builds stronger relationships between teams and communities. It's creative and engaging, but also structured, purposeful and grounded in strong facilitation principles that align with our values around fairness, clarity and meaningful engagement.

Common Questions About LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitation

Do participants need any special skills or experience with LEGO?
Not at all. The method is designed to be accessible to everyone regardless of building experience. The focus is on thinking and communication, not creating impressive models. We guide participants through each step and create a safe environment for exploration.
How is this different from just playing with LEGO bricks?
LEGO® Serious Play® follows a specific structured process developed for serious business and organisational purposes. Each activity has clear learning objectives, and participants explain the meaning behind their builds. It's purposeful, facilitated and designed to generate insights and actionable outcomes.
Can this approach work for sensitive or complex organisational issues?
Yes, often very effectively. The method can help people express ideas that are difficult to articulate in words, and the hands-on building process often reduces defensiveness. We're experienced in facilitating sensitive conversations and creating safe spaces for honest reflection.
What size groups work best for LEGO® Serious Play® sessions?
We can work with groups from 6 to 20 participants effectively. Smaller groups allow for deeper individual exploration, while larger groups benefit from diverse perspectives. We'll advise on optimal group size based on your objectives and time available.
Do you provide all the LEGO materials needed?
Yes, we bring our full "soup" of LEGO bricks, figures and accessories for all facilitated sessions. For training sessions, we also provide starter kits and guidance on building your own collection for future use.
Can you combine LEGO® Serious Play® with your other services?
Absolutely. We often integrate this approach into our wider facilitation work, team development sessions, and strategic planning support. It works particularly well as part of away days or longer-term organisational development programmes.
