Rest in Peace George Swift
Our thoughts are with our colleague, Denise Cranston and her family following the recent passing of her husband, George Swift. The entire 2into3 team extends our deepest sympathies during this difficult time.
Trained Facilitator of LEGO®️ SERIOUS PLAY®️
Our Senior Associate within the Advisory Team, Fiona Barry, has recently completed her training to become a certified facilitator of LEGO®️ SERIOUS PLAY®️ method and materials.
Serious Play is defined as “a mode of activity that draws on the imagination, integrates cognitive, social and emotional dimensions of experience and intentionally brings the emergent benefits of play to bear on organisational challenges”. LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology was born in the late 1990s initially in the context to the development of strategy has since been developed to be used in facilitated outcome focused processes and team building.
It creates an environment of optimal learning and engagements from participants, building collective knowledge and opening opportunities for adding new perspectives in a safe and supportive environment.
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY provides a comprehensive framework comprising of 3 main focus areas:
- Complex adaptive systems, about the different sub-elements in a system that interact with and adapt to each other and the difficulty to predict how they will do so in the future.
- Imagination, play and serious play, about serious play and strategic imagination being at the source of the strategy-making process.
- Epistemology, language and identity, about how we build knowledge, talk about it and create organisational identity.
