The secret ingredient to greater innovation output may not be more work, but more play. ‘Serious Play’ is not about the extra thing that you do after work, rather it is redesigning work to tap into the power of productive play to tackle our most complex business challenges.

In ‘Serious Play’ we create a mindspace where individuals can feel free to explore a problem or opportunity through playful interaction and be energized to imagine new possibilities.

In this “Serious Play” for Design Thinking series of workshops , LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitators, Angela Koch and Darwin Antipolo will share their passion for innovation in playmode and demonstrate how colourful LEGO® brick play and other serious play methods can drive engagement and breakthroughs within Design Thinking.

If you are a Design Thinking practitioner looking to fire up engagement or simply curious about the intersection of Serious Play and Design Thinking and are keen to take your Innovation output to the next level, then join us for this not "business as usual" workshop.
