Mastering the LEGO® Serious Play® Method

44 facilitation techniques for trained facilitators.

In Mastering we tried to share everything we had learnt about the professional facilitation of Build Level 1, individual model building, and Build Level 2, shared model building.

It is a 180-page, full-colour book to help facilitators of the LEGO® Serious Play® method plan and deliver professional workshops, with 44 detailed facilitation techniques from master trainer Sean Blair.

Twenty graduate stories show what happened after their training: where our graduates now use the method, and the lessons they learnt. It is the book every SERIOUSWORK course participant receives in print.
