Lego has been used by organizations (e.g. IKEA, Samsung) and has been seen as an innovative approach to unlock talents of employees and to develop soft skills (e.g. leadership and team building). In this workshop, we will introducing the different strategies to trainers using Lego as a tool to facilitate team building, leadership and communication skillsets. Through the process, participants will experience the Lego facilitation process. They will be guided through different phases to work individually and collaboratively. They will also learn how to play out scenarios, see how they can affect team dynamics, and develop deeper and broader understanding of team building and leadership skills. For this workshop, one small Lego pack will be given to each participant. Please also kindly note that this is not a "Lego Serious Play" (LSP) course as LSP would require in-depth training offered by another service provider.
Lecturers, trainers, instructors and facilitators who are new to leadership and team-building training, and lego-play for skills development.
