I ran a Lego Serious Play session at the Registrars Of Title Conference in Edinburgh in October 2017

1. BUSINESS LEGO
Build you ideal land registry

2. Ah, lovely. A typical meeting.

3. A ‘leaning in’ 100/100 meeting

4. • Technical skills
• Story telling – using three modes of
communication
• Bricks as metaphors
• Listening with the eyes and the ears
And the skills?

green and orange bricks, build a tower with a
flower on top.”

Challenge 2 - Metaphor

10. Lego bricks as metaphor...

11. Explain this!
Practicing creative thinking and using
metaphors is helpful.
We can give bricks any meaning we want.
You don’t need sophisticated Lego technical
skills, because you can make a brick mean
anything you like.

• People get a chance to think before they speak.
• Everyone gets a chance to share their unique insight.
• Improves outgoing communication.
• Improves incoming understanding.
• Focuses on the message (not the messenger).
