Estimated reading time 2 minutes, 3 seconds

An immersive workshop to experience business strategy with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

Real-Time Strategy is the flagship workshop of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology, designed to help companies, departments, and teams experience real-time strategy, understanding their identity, market context, and potential future scenarios.

This transformative experience shifts the focus from simply having a strategic plan to thinking and acting strategically, moving beyond static PowerPoint presentations to a three-dimensional, dynamic visualization of business reality.

Why choose Real-Time Strategy?

  • A clear and shared vision – Identifies the key elements of the company’s identity and how they interact with the socio-economic environment.
  • Faster and more informed strategic decisions – Participants simulate multiple scenarios in real time, evaluating the impact of different choices before implementing them.
  • A flexible and adaptable approach – The workshop can be applied at an organizational, departmental, or team level, ensuring a holistic perspective on business dynamics and decision-making processes.

How does the workshop work?

The Real-Time Strategy Workshop follows a structured approach based on 7 key LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® techniques, guiding participants from building individual models to simulating complex scenarios and defining strategic guiding principles.

These 7 techniques include:

  1. Building Individual Models – Participants construct models representing their perception of the organization and business landscape.
  2. Bilding Shared Models – Individual perspectives are merged into a collective, shared model.
  3. Creating a Landscape – The shared model is placed within a broader environment, simulating the market and external factors.
  4. Making Connections – Relationships and interdependencies between internal and external elements are explored.
  5. Building a System – The internal dynamics of the business ecosystem are analyzed for a more comprehensive understanding.
  6. Playing Emergencies & Decisions – Participants test real-time responses to unexpected events and future scenarios.
  7. Extracting Simple Guiding Principles – The workshop concludes with the identification of strategic guiding principles that will help the company or team make effective, sustainable decisions in the future.

Decisions are not made in the abstract; they are tested, adjusted, and validated through direct simulation. The built models can be manipulated and adapted to evaluate the impact of any possible event or market variable
