Why it is a breakthrough
Facilitating a workshop is not the same as changing a system.
Most facilitator training in the LEGO® Serious Play® method stops at a good workshop. Leaders leave energised, and the same problems return, because the system that produces them never changed. The pathway trains you to make the whole system visible, help a team think together about it, and design the leverage that changes it.
| A certified facilitator | A Systems Synergy facilitator | |
|---|---|---|
| The question | What do we think about this? | What produces this, again and again? |
| What gets built | Individual and shared models | A system model of the forces at work, connected and tested |
| The conversation | Everyone speaks | The team thinks together, through Bohmian Dialogue |
| The output | Insight and agreement in the room | Leverage experiments the team runs after the room |
| Your role | Workshop facilitator | Systems leader and trusted adviser to senior teams |
Three methods, one practice
Each falls short alone. Together they change how a team thinks.
The LEGO® Serious Play® method
Makes an invisible system tangible, so every voice is seen and heard.
The Fifth Discipline
Peter Senge's shared vision, mental models, team learning and personal mastery.
Bohmian Dialogue
Shifts a team from defending positions to thinking together.
How the pathway runs
Train, practise on live work, certify.
- Stage 1
The intensive
In the training room, with a small cohort. Build the system-level skills and the dialogue practice together.
- Stage 2
Supervised practice
Apply the method to your own live work, with supervision from Sean and the faculty at each step.
- Stage 3
Certification
Certified at the level you reach. Cohorts stay small so every participant gets close attention, and so the credential stays rare: 32 places in 2027.
London
Only 8 places.
Singapore
