Yes, our certification meets the standards we set in 2010 in collaboration with LEGO® and other trainers as part of the LEGO® Serious Play® Training Advisory Board. It includes teaching and practicing the various LEGO® Serious Play® processes, the concept of real-time strategy and lasts at least three days. Our certification training meets these requirements, is coordinated with LEGO® and guarantees comprehensive and well-founded training.

Trainings that promise full certification in less than three days are not serious and do not meet the established standards. They cannot adequately convey the complex content and processes of LEGO® Serious Play®.

LEGO® Serious Play®

LEGO® Serious Play® is a group process for developing strategies and visions. Teams present their ideas, thought models and visions for a complex project with the help of LEGO® models.

LEGO® Serious Play® is suitable for designing complex projects. Above all, it requires creative freedom. It is less about "How do we get from A to B" and more about "What could B look like". Specifically, we use the method for team optimization, for designing objectives and visions for teams, organizations, corporate culture, service or product innovation and much more.
