Welcome to my pages dedicated to LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. I am a trained LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator and have been researching and developing the use of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method within Higher Education.
This includes using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® as a research tool for understanding aspects of both Higher Education and Business.
A particular focus is on the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method as a Co-Design tool, using the method with both staff and students.
