Transform Your Team's Thinking

LEGO®SERIOUS PLAY®

Unlock collective wisdom through structured play

At Athena Professional, we believe in the power of continuous learning to unlock potential, individually and collectively. LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) embodies this belief by creating a space where everyone contributes equally, where complex challenges become tangible, and where innovative solutions emerge through collaborative thinking.

What is LEGO® Serious Play®?

LEGO Serious Play is a facilitated thinking, communication, and problem-solving methodology developed in the late 1990s. It uses LEGO bricks as a tool for organisational development, team building, and strategic planning.

The power of LSP lies in its ability to engage every participant equally. By building physical models that represent abstract ideas, participants create a common language across hierarchies and departments—making it particularly valuable in professional environments where different perspectives need to be integrated.

How LSP works

1. Skilled Facilitation

Sessions are led by Nicola Jones, a certified LSP facilitator with over 20 years of experience in continuous learning strategy and design. As a former barrister, Noo brings unique insight into the challenges facing legal professionals.

2. The Core Process

The facilitator poses a challenge or question

Participants build models with LEGO bricks representing their answers

Each person shares the story and meaning behind their model

The group reflects on insights gained

3. 100% Participation

Unlike traditional meetings where the most vocal individuals dominate, LSP ensures everyone contributes equally. The hands-on approach keeps participants focused and invested in the process.

Why Legal Teams Choose LSP

BREAKING DOWN HIERARCHIES

LSP creates a level playing field where partners, associates, and support staff can all contribute equally to discussions about firm culture, strategy, and client service.

SURFACING UNSPOKEN CHALLENGES

The methodology helps teams reveal and address underlying issues rather than just surface problems—particularly valuable when navigating change in traditional environments.

BUILDING STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

As legal services evolve, LSP helps teams build shared understanding of organisational goals and develop strategies that everyone can get behind.

ENHANCING CLIENT EXPERIENCE

By improving how team members understand each other, LSP ultimately enhances how they understand and serve clients —creating better outcomes for everyone.
