What is so unique about Lego® Serious Play®?
Find here a step by step introduction what stands behind the hard fun of thinking ahead.

Do you prefer to learn and share within in a community of inspiring people? And are you interested in agile, creativity and innovation?! Then you should know about and try to get into these two upcoming events:

Play4Agile

It will be the 5th year an international crowd of people will retreat into the cozy and usually snowy hills of Rückersbach. For 4 days we will share and develop playful approaches to support teams with high-PLAYformance.

Play4Agile is for Agile and Lean coaches, facilitators, game and innovation experts who want to exchange questions, ideas and experiences on using games in teams and organisations. Play4Agile offers an engaging and open „playground“ to inspire each other and to learn how using serious games can help us achieve our goals. More and less experienced peers from all over the world will create and play games in an inspiring environment.

We can’t wait to get there… (and we will be there earlier for a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® training in the perfect learning environment!)

Play4Agile starts end of next week (Feb 20 2015) and is already sold out since months. However, we know by experience that you have a good chance to get in last minute via waiting list. So in case you’re interested, give it at try!

And here comes our other favourite conference and highlight of the year…

CREA Conference

THE Creativity Event in Europe!
Crea Conference is the most important annual date  devoted to creativity and innovation in Europe. For five days participants focus on the learning and application of methods, on tools and techniques for the development of creative thinking.
Each edition 300 participants from over 30 countries contribute to make Crea Conference a great international and multicultural event.
The next CREA Conference will be from 15 – 19 APRIL 2015 in beautiful Sestri Levante, Italy.

If you want to join CREA, you should hurry, we heard there are only 30 tickets left…

Of  course, we will be at both events as organisers and/or session facilitators and would be happy to see you there!

CREA 2015

Even though StrategicPlay® is mostly known for LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, our main endeavour is making people believe in their own creativity.
Last week some of our teams from Germany and Canada spent the week at a Training on how to apply creative problem solving skills in coaching (thanks, Newell Eaton!) . Though we’ve already used our creative processes in coaching, we still gained valuable insights and learned a lot.
This is way we instantly shared our learnings on why creativity matters in coaching: Jens Hoffmann held a session „Creativity in Coaching“  today at AgileCoachCamp Germany 2014.

We proudly present…. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® in a Day!

Since 2009 we keep improving our LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Facilitator Training „StrategicPlay® FUNdamentals on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®“. Please find testemonials here and here. Gaining new insights in all the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops and trainings, we always have new aspects and topics to work into our LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® trainings.

Clients then started to ask more and more for „Basics Training“ to be held inhouse for just one day. Happily we obliged and created  a turbo-training „StrategicPlay® STARTER on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®“  which covers the basic principles of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® of how to facilitate rapid prototyping of mental models with LEGO®. We are running this (inhouse) training already since two years and decided to add it to our training calender of open trainings.

Find here the differences between our 1day and 3day LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Trainings:

If you have questions regarding our LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Trainings, feel free to get in touch via phone or E-Mail.

One more thing: We offer discounts for those who took the Starter Training and then decide to dive deeper into LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® with the  FUNdamentals Training!

All our LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Trainings are different, since the training participants always have different backgrounds and therefore new questions and inspirations. The fun and the excitement about the method is always the same!

Impressions of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Trainings December 2012 and January 2013 

In the three days of our training we teach all our knowledge and experiences around LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® so that the participants learn how to design and facilitate LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops successfully. Most exciting is the third day when the participants facilitate their own first workshop which they designed themselves before.

Our next training will be in March, find our other dates in 2013 here.
