How Might We...evolve the LEGO® Serious Play® method?
How Might We are a design studio that are pushing the boundaries of how the LEGO® Serious Play® method can be applied to strategy development, process improvement, team alignment and employee/customer experience
The How Might We team have combined elements of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method with the Soft Systems Method and Service Design practices. This unique combination has been refined (and is continually evolving) as the team at How Might We continue to work with multinationals, SMEs, startups and public service bodies
Since 2018, the How Might We team have used the Lego method to:
1) facilitate Strategic Foresight workshops for billion-euro transformation programs
2) coach teams, departments and entire organisations to embed Service Design practices
3 ) bring clients and their customers/citizens together to co-create better relationships and service delivery
4 ) help teams grappling with complex work environments (and inter-personal tensions) to work better together so they can deliver more human-centred products and services
5 ) help teams design better stakeholder management practices...dare we say we even helped them gain the capability and confidence to "push back" on their stakeholders
6 ) help academic departments better understand and articulate the value proposition of its new courses and the various segments of learners they need to communicate to
The How Might We team have also helped thousands of students learn Design Thinking and Service Design through the LEGO Serious Play method. They did this as they have been Creative Partners for:
The Big Idea - www.thebigidea.ie
Playful Designers - www.playfuldesigners.school
Generation Innovation - www.generationinnovation.co
Plus they're continuously working with other not-for-profits and community-focused for-profits that wish to teach learners about Entrepreneurship, Design Thinking and Service Design through the LEGO method

What does all that mean for you?
Firstly, you learn the traditional LEGO® Serious Play® method plus gain a deeper understanding of how to apply the Soft Systems Method and Service Design practices. We know that if you have a broader understanding of how the LEGO® method can be applied, then you will be more equipped to understand and adapt to complex challenges within the workplace and society
Secondly, you don't have to pay for more training in an "Advanced" course that teaches you the LEGO® method with Systems Thinking or Design Thinking

Why should you choose How Might We?
We do good work. We say that humbly yet confidently, as we have a body of successful client projects to back that up. Training people in the LEGO® method is not our full-time job. Continuously applying, testing and adapting it in the real world is what we do best and enjoy most
We're respected internationally. Our unique application of the LEGO® method has led to interviews on podcasts such as:
This is HCD
Design Thinking 101
Systems Innovation
The Product Quest Podcast (which is linked on this page)

Jane and Ronan are also co-hosts of the SEEKING PLAY podcast (on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon Music).

Training Details
Pre-training
1) Three weeks before training, we grant you access to our learning platform, where you learn how to facilitate two one-hour workshops with friends or colleagues. This ensures that you are familiar with the LEGO Serious Play method before we meet online
2 ) Two weeks prior, we also provide access to video content that will give you a much better understanding of two vitally important questions, "What is Play?" and "Why do we Play?". These two questions have been a fascination for the How Might We team, and we're confident will fascinate you too
During training
3) We cover a lot of ground over the two days, plus there are plenty of breaks. We're big proponents of learning by doing, so have provided you with a ton of support to get "hands-on" as soon as training finishes
Post-training
4) We provide you with two-day, full-day and half-day slide decks so you can easily and quickly facilitate sessions from 4 to 100 people. We've refined all of these workshops over the years, so know they work
5) We also show you how to structure your own workshop so you can integrate the tools that we cover, such as:
Rich Pictures, Root Definitions, Feasibility and Acceptability Analysis, Stakeholder Maps, Personas, How Might We Statements, Empathy Maps, Journey Maps, Service Blueprint, plus a number of ideation methods
6) To ensure you're confident to facilitate your first workshop, we provide an hour of online, one-to-one coaching
7 ) To ensure you can confidently persuade clients or stakeholders that this LEGO method isn't non-sense (busy adults can be cynical, ya' know!), we provide you with a slide deck that outlines the value of the method
8) We hold a bi-monthly, online, one-hour chat to help you connect and learn with a global community of LEGO Serious Play Facilitators
We're also very intentionally not using an online platform like Slack or Mighty Networks. We're in waaaaaaaay too many of them that have little to no activity
Plato said it best,
"You learn more about a person in an hour of play than a lifetime.... in a disengaged Slack community."
He, he....see what we did there. We've got jokes :)
