Play overload: Innovation Games® Meets Lego® Serious Play®

Abstract

Innovation Games® gives you a set of tools you can use to tackle your organization’s challenges in such areas as corporate strategy, market research, product innovation and much more.
Lego Serious Play® is a facilitation technique that uses a carefully selected set of lego bricks specifically designed for to stimulate creativity and co-creation.
In this session, we will combine the power of game design techniques from innovation games with the co-creation and 3D experience of Lego Serious Play.
Why are games so good to use?
Games involve a high level of motion and helps us to
• focus
• remember
• decide
• perform
• learn

But they also
• involve people
• have structure and goals
• operate more like a real-world system
• results are unpredictable
• even small changes creates a great difference in the result

Why is Lego® so powerful?
• it stimulates us to be more creative
• it is a lot easier for people to get into than drawing
• it brings back childhood memories ;-)

We will introduce the participants several Innovation Games® which we specifically moddled for use with Lego® Serious Play®. Participants can choose between two different innovation games®:
• Product Box
• My worst nightmare
