I'll be there!

The Cat and the Coup by peterbrinson Some democracies fall. Others are pushed.

One of the most affecting video games I've played is The Cat and the Coup (2011). You play as Mossadegh's cat and must get up to mischief to try to bring him back from the brink of despair.

It asks: "How do you know when your democracy is threatened"?

Serious Play 2026 (Aug 5-7), just bought my EARLY BIRD ticket (ends tonight), in Durham, NC at Duke. First time attending!

Cooking up a biographical, narrative game that addresses a tough situation: How best to communicate with someone who has dementia?

#seriousplay #seriousgames #gamesforimpact

Let's plan to reconvene next year and share what we've learned from #SeriousPlay. Hint: You can't do it with a device in your hand, or in front of your face (unless you have some special device to unlock doors in your brain). Play requires you #useitorloseit. Loosen up and #findthejoyofdiscovery. 💛

Having a day out at the UK's first facilitator community meeting for Lego SeriousPlay. If you know what that means - great. Did it start with making a tower? Heck yes. If you don't know what that means but want to make your team more awesome in a Hard-Fun way, let me know. #lspdays25 #seriousplay

“Play is where serious ideas dress up in weird clothes and ask us to take them seriously anyway.”

Pro und Kontra von LEGO SERIOUS PLAY [Bild generiert mit Copilot]

👷LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® – Teams in Bewegung bringen – kein Allheilmittel
Richtig eingesetzt? Starker Katalysator für neue Perspektiven & echte Gespräche.
Falsch eingesetzt? Bunte Modelle, null Wirkung.
🔑 Bauen macht das Denken be-greifbar – nicht überflüssig.

LEGO Figuren Vielfalt [Bild von Eak K. auf Pixabay]

🧱LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® – Wer darf mitspielen?
LSP will Vielfalt – hat aber auch eingebaute #Barrieren.
👁️‍🗨️ Haptik-Hürde
🗣️ Sprachbarriere
💸 De facto Lizenzpflicht
Vielfalt beginnt nicht erst beim Bauen. Sondern beim Fragen: Was brauchst du, um mitzumachen?

LEGO Business – verzweifelt [Bild von kirill_makes_pics auf Pixabay]

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® – love it or hate it.
Kann mega sein: Alle bauen, reden, verstehen mehr.
Kann aber auch schieflaufen: Wenn keiner weiß, warum, oder alle nur innerlich seufzen.
Kernfrage: Ist das Setup gut? Oder einfach nur bunter Quatsch?

🧱 LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®: Bauen wir noch – oder lösen wir schon?
LSP klingt cool & sieht toll aus.
⏳ Aufwand: hoch.
📈 Nutzen? Abhängig von:
– Nachbereitung?
– konkrete Maßnahmen?
– Nur gut gemeinte Bastelzeit?
Fazit: Gut gemacht – top. Ohne Konsequenz – Flop.

🧱LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® kann wirken – aber nur mit kluger Moderation.

Wer nur baut, hat noch nichts bewegt.
Gute Facilitatoren stellen offene & präzise formulierte Fragen, hören zu & schaffen Raum für Erkenntnis und das ohne Dogmatismus.
