    Advantages

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® invites all participants to take an active part in the process. The common language – the bricks – treats everyone as equals and allows all opinions and aspects to be heard. In a very direct way, you will be able to see what everyone knows inside the company – and what they don’t know they know.

Insights made using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® are immediately actionable. Because the insights come from the people who will implement them, ideas don’t have to be introduced and anchored – they can be set into motion right away.

What LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® provides is an efficient tool for crafting the solution to strategic issues and challenges confronting the organisation or the division.

Using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, participants will be clearer on objectives, actions and on the Simple Guiding Principles for the organisation. Consequently, business strategies will be much more comprehensive and coherent – and in a deeper way that creates actionable ideas.

Engagement surveys. Surveys help us evaluate our programs to ensure that culture initiatives are making a difference. We seek to measure the way people speak about and are invested in their work.

Net Promoter Scores (NPS). NPS are used to measure customer experience and loyalty, which are a direct result of team engagement.

Levels of staff attrition. New hire retention and turnover are critical metrics in how we measure engagement and the maintenance of the employer brand promise.

Leadership development. A review of the number of leaders promoted to higher level roles helps us identify succession planning within the organization.
