Pete's LEGO® team building blog
I’d like to share what I know so that you too are in a position to use LEGO® bricks in this way for your own purposes. My hope is to share my knowledge with you so that we can enter into a discussion and together take that knowledge and the skills to a higher level. I see the LEGO® SERIOUS FUN and the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodologies as work-in-progress. Together, through discussion and facilitating workshops, we can strive to know more and do a better job. I’d like to make team work work better!
There are distinct areas I wish to explore with you.
- The LEGO® SERIOUS FUN methodology
- The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology
- Using LEGO® bricks to make team work work.
- Facilitating the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology.
If you can think of other areas we should explore please let me know. I look forward to taking the LEGO® SERIOUS FUN and the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodologies to greater heights with you.
