LEGO SERIOUS PLAY was recommended to me by a friend as a totally different way of working on organisational challenges in an online working space. So, during an online team development workshop with Marc as a facilitator, I found myself and my co-workers building LEGO models with the goal to answer a few prepared questions to improve team collaboration. Sharing the stories about these models and reflecting on them allowed us to come up with distinct ideas and actions to work better together as a remote team, working in different time zones. The workshop was hands-on, inspiring and fun. It was surprising to see how the LEGO bricks helped us shaping our thoughts leveraging honest and constructive feedback from all team members with the help of a skilled facilitator. The summary of the workshop and feedback session Marc provided afterwards allowed us to define tangible action points! Thanks a lot Marc!

Lego serious play Geen idee wat ik me erbij moest voorstellen. Alvast een hele goeie reden om deel te nemen aan de avond die door Marc Sonnaert werd gehost met als doel onze sales pitch te verbeteren aan de hand van Lego serious play. Door enkele opdrachten die Marc ons liet maken werd al heel snel duidelijk hoe verruimend de techniek kan werken. Waar ik persoonlijk meestal vastloop als er wordt gevraagd zet op een blad papier waarom een klant juist voor jouw zaak zou kiezen. Was dit niet zo bij het uitbeelden van deze vraag aan de hand van lego. Op een vrij korte tijd kwam ik eigenlijk tot een constructie die mooie uitbeelde waar we veel belang aan hechten in onze service naar onze klanten. Klanten met keuze stress helpen. Het idee waar ze onze zaak met binnen wandelen helpen omzetten in een bloemcreatie, en op deze manier een tevreden en gelukkige klant kunnen maken. Lego serious play is een echte aanrader om inzichten te krijgen en anders na te denken over complexe vragen. Ik ga het in de toekomst zeker nog gebruiken. Philip Van Hal

Dankzij de workshop met Marc heb ik nieuwe inzichten over mijn bedrijf die ik met het "klassieke denken" niet had kunnen verwerven. Als creative challenger daagt Marc je uit om anders te denken en zo je innovatief potentieel naar boven te halen. Een aanrader voor zowel de zaakvoerder als het management team om creatieve oplossingen voor (alledaagse) complexe uitdagingen te overwinnen. Bedankt, Marc!

      There comes a time in the life of any organization where a collective leap becomes a necessity. It might be a strategic quantum leap for the organization or maybe a matter of crossing a conflict filled abyss. Inthrface is the creative default when it comes to guiding organizations and people through this new exiting phase while ensuring the best possible results.

As all trekking birds, ducks use different methods to arrive with great precision at their destination (which might be thousands km away). Being a leader, don’t you feel you need to address the unknown in your environment all the time? YOU PROBABLY ALSO WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT IS TIME TO ACT OR NOT TO ACT? Ducks know: within the V formation, every single duck is taking the lead and at the same time they can also support. Arriving at their destination escaping winter is therefore a collective victory for them. Addressing the unknown and using collective intelligence to decide when to act are skills that can be developed through Serious Play at Noventus. My goal is to show how achieving common understanding leads to making better decisions. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Specialties ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Facilitation • Building strategy and vision • Creating strategic focus • Personal and team development • Business development • Process optimization • Change management • Lego® Serious Play® Show less
