Introduction

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Real Time Strategy® is a facilitated meeting, communication, and problem-solving method in which participants use LEGO bricks to build models representing their ideas, thoughts, and reflections. This approach taps into the potential of the whole group by encouraging everyone to contribute and share their perspectives in a collaborative and engaging manner.

The Real Time Strategy® version of LSP is specifically designed for strategic planning and decision-making processes. It involves a series of structured activities where participants build individual and shared models that represent various aspects of their organization's strategy. These models help visualize complex systems and relationships, making abstract concepts tangible and easier to discuss.

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is endlessly adaptable. Real Time Strategy® is at the core of the methodology and we have helped our clients facilitate everything from one-hour online sessions to week long comprehensive strategic planning.
