Vision and strategy workshops for teams with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
In brief: a vision and strategy workshop with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® helps a team build, with brick models, a shared vision, clear goals and guiding principles for everyday work. It suits new teams, the start of a year or a project, organisational change and cultural themes such as safety. IPPOPO facilitates it in Milan, in Lombardy or at the client’s premises, with follow-up sessions where needed.
A vision built together, with your hands
A vision written on a slide rarely changes how a team works. With LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® the team turns abstract concepts into concrete models, discusses them and arrives at goals and guiding principles that everyone recognises as their own.
IPPOPO facilitates vision and strategy workshops for teams and companies in Milan, Lombardy and at your premises.
When a vision workshop is needed
New team
A group starting out that needs to get to know each other and build common foundations.
New year or project
Goals and priorities set together, rather than handed down from above.
Change
A reorganisation that requires alignment between different people and functions.
Cultural themes
Safety, quality, leadership: they stay abstract until the team makes them concrete.
How we work
- Initial call to define the goal, the context and the participants.
- Design of the questions and stages of the workshop around your specific case.
- Workshop: individual models, shared model, and the emergence of goals and guiding principles.
- Debrief with a summary of the outputs and, if needed, follow-up workshops to move from vision to action.
What the team gets
- A shared vision, in a model the team can explain.
- Clear goals, drawn from the participants’ own words.
- Guiding principles for decisions and everyday action.
- A safe space where every voice carries the same weight.
Workshops delivered
Safety Committee of a data centre
In a few hours the committee built a shared safety vision and defined the year’s priorities: a safety culture based on data and feedback, leading by example, standardised internal communication, dialogue with external stakeholders.
Fashion start-up
A team at the launch stage went beyond roles, shared expectations and motivations, and outlined the project one year ahead. The programme continues with follow-ups to turn the vision into strategy.
A team that found its compass
By building its own “ecosystem”, an already cohesive team made the unspoken visible and brought out the guiding principles that hold it together.
Who facilitates
Samuele Granata is a certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator with over 10 years of experience in IT and in complex operational environments. This allows him to work with technical, operational and management teams, speaking their language.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from a team building?
Team building focuses mainly on relationships and cohesion. A vision workshop has a precise output: goals, priorities and guiding principles to use at work. Often the two combine. Discover team building
Is one workshop enough?
To align a team on a vision, often yes. To turn it into strategy and operational decisions, a programme with one or more follow-up sessions is useful.
Does what emerges in the workshop stay confidential?
Yes. What emerges during the workshop belongs to the team and is shared only with whomever you decide.
