Creative Workshop Methods

  • Lego Serious Play workshops are valuable for team-building and problem-solving. Participants use Lego bricks to create metaphors and models, facilitating communication and unlocking creativity. The hands-on approach encourages active participation, fosters collaboration, and enables deeper exploration of complex ideas, leading to innovative solutions and stronger team cohesion.

  • Playmobil Pro materials offer a unique approach to team development. Teams can simulate scenarios and explore different dynamics, roles, and strategies. The tangible nature of Playmobil allows for experiential learning, encourages creativity, and facilitates discussions, resulting in valuable insights about teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

  • Problem solving sprints provide a structured framework for teams to rapidly ideate, prototype, and test solutions. By condensing the process into a focused period, it accelerates decision-making and promotes collaboration. This time-bound approach encourages diverse perspectives, minimises risks, and empowers teams to generate innovative solutions efficiently.
