Why our classes are better than the inventors of the method

Advance to go. Facilitate System Models.

 
 

 

LEGO Serious Play Build Level 3 System Models

System models enable you to see so much more. Let us show you how to facilitate the magic that system models allow.

Like so much else in LEGO® Serious Play®, we have made massive improvements to the original techniques, still (yawn) being taught by some. Read the key features below to see just some of those upgrades.

Systems model workshops to make systems thinking visible, and framed as a systems thinking process allows infinitely more possibility than the rather limited original ‘Real Time Strategy’.

In a world where evidently we are poor at understanding the consequences of actions, LEGO® Serious Play® Build Level 3: System modelling is a much needed method.

This is the crown jewel of our trainings, and we will be pleased to teach you how to plan, design and deliver a system-level workshop.

Why not book a call with our master trainer Sean Blair to find our just how much better than the rest this training is?

LEGO Serious Play Build Level 3 System Models

What sets this training above the rest

Key Features of your Advanced Class

Practice-Based Learning

You will learn to facilitate by being the facilitator! With small class sizes we ensure hands-on, practise based learning. The highlight moment of practice-based learning is running your first 2 hour workshop. You’ll take a group of people you have not met through a ‘Introduction to LEGO® Serious Play®’ This will give you a terrific confidence boost, and you’ll leave your training having already run your first Build Level 1 and 2 workshop.

Comprehensive Training Materials

You will receive extensive resources, including a paper copy of “Mastering the LEGO® Serious Play® Method,” and digital copies of our other three books, “How to Facilitate the LEGO® Serious Play®  Method Online” and “Building Better Learning”. You’ll also get Window Exploration kit of LEGO® bricks. Plus the Build Level 3 course handout.

Master Planning ALL kinds of Meetings

The key skill of delivering a successful system level workshop, is planning your workshop. We use two planning modules to teach you a set of planning skills that you can apply after class to any kind of meeting or workshop – including those that won’t benefit or should not use LEGO® Serious Play®. Many graduates report that this was a real lightbulb moment and a highlight of this training.

This is a Leadership Development Class

This class teaches facilitation skills, skills that can be used in any kind of meeting or workshop. We believe facilitation is a skill a ‘Participatory Leader’ has. The ability to get the best out of everyone in a meeting and achieve a meaningful outcome. Seen in this way, this training is really a Leadership Development class.

Learn From Build Level 3 Case Studies

In class your trainer will share real life client case studies of how they have designed and facilitated system level workshops. These cases will bring to life for you how the ideas in class translate into real world outcomes.

Insights Stages and Concrete Outcomes

What happens after a group build a system model? We have updated the old version of the original Build Level 3 application, ‘Real Time Strategy’ Now you’ll know know to run Insights stages and use entirely new frameworks that help groups clarify strategic and operational objectives, identify new measures and catalytic measures and clarify by actions and learning.

New Skills and Hacks

We have added so many new hacks to Build Level 3, things that to the best of our knowledge our competitors simply have not thought about. We will not share them here, but in class we will show you some brilliant and original hacks that make system model workshops so much more effective. 

Learn New Applications and Application Design

Build Level 3 workshops are based on a framework, the original framework is called Real Time Strategy. We think it’s flawed and we’ll tell you why in class. We’ll also share with you new frameworks we have designed and used successfully with our clients. Better yet, we’ll encourage you to design your own new frameworks.

Highest Value Certificate

Upon successful completion of the training, you’ll receive a certificate recognising you as certified System Level LEGO® Serious Play® facilitator. We consider these certificates the highest value in the market, mainly because we have seen you facilitate in class. This is a very different approach the traditionalists in this market.

Testimonials

What graduates say about this training?

USA

I was fortunate to attend SERIOUSWORK Build Level 3 training after a year of trying to learn and practice facilitation on my own. What a difference! I took away heaps of new skills, handy resources, and – most important – true confidence in my ability to plan and carry out LEGO Serious Play workshops at all Build Levels.

~Alson Buttenheim

Professor of Heath Policy

GERMANY

In my System Level class I learned that if Sean is not satisfied with a detail of the method that seemed unpractical or unhappy with an entire framework – he simply develops a new one from scratch. That’s true dedication backed by a super ambitious yet, humble mindset of lifelong learning. Also, he has many stories to share not from theory but from practice.

~Sven Scheuring

Data Analytics Strategist - BMW

IRELAND

Myself and other colleagues from the LEGO Foundation attended SERIOUSWORK’S LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitator training. I can’t recommend the training enough – it was hands-on, engaging and highly enjoyable. Crucially, the training encouraged us to hone our LSP facilitation skills. Highly recommend.

After Training Support

We go beyond just training

SERIOUSWORK® offers several robust after-training support options for participants who complete their LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator training courses. These support mechanisms ensure that graduates can continue to develop their skills, stay connected with the community, and receive ongoing professional development.

Join our Circle Community

Our Circle Community is an amazing (and huge) resource. During training you’ll all get access to our advanced graduates-only channel. This is a library, a community, a classroom and a database.

You and can download advanced tools and templates, sample workshop plans, Powerpoint templates and access the materials used in training and that come with our books. Learn from case studies shown at pervious webinars, meet other graduates, ask for help on your assignments.

Exclusively for System Level Facilitators

After training, you can attend (free of charge) trainer run ‘Lunch and Learn’ webinars where we will share latest case studies and workshop plans, share latest hacks and upgrades and answer your questions.

In our advanced graduates-only Lunch and Learns, we go into more detail and share with you new workshop plans, hacks, upgrades and reports from our own practise as professional facilitators.

... To our new Build Level 3 Book

Towards the end of your training, you’ll hear your trainer say ‘Now read the books’. The 4 books we have written will make so much sense to you after class. 690 pages of wisdom to help solidify the ideas you all learnt in class.

You’ll all get a paper copy of MASTERING and you can all download digital copies of our other three books.

We are working on our 5th book, about system models. You will get pre-publication access to that better still add a case study to this book…

On Big Scary Strategic Assignments

This is an extension of coaching and mentoring. Occasionally graduates ask us for help to co-facilitate after class on huge strategic workshops.

In these cases, we use the assignments as opportunities to deepen learning for Advanced graduates. We co-plan and co-facilitate. This gives you a powerful boost as you can see the lessons learned in class, in action in a highly strategic workshop context.

Let's Co-Facilitate!

This is an extension of the mentoring support. If you feel your big scary assignment needs a helping hand we’d be happy to help.

If you have a workshop coming up that you feel is just too big for you to do alone, together we can use your assignments as an opportunity to deepen your learning on a live project. We will co-plan and can co-facilitate if that’s what you’d like.
