LEGO® Serious Play® is the result of 15 years development. A powerful method to solve problems, explore ideas and achieve objectives based on management theory using a toy. Serious Work enables readers to understand what LEGO® Serious Play® is and how it works. This practical and well designed workbook helps people have better meetings; it shows how LEGO® Serious Play® is used in five common kinds of meeting and workshop, enabling improvement in communication, collaboration and outcomes. It is intended for people who run meetings. Leaders, managers, facilitators and coaches who are seeking ways to help teams work-together well, will find this book especially helpful. Readers who are interested in or responsible for coaching, problem solving, visioning, team building or strategy will find the ideas challenge conventional meeting norms (thankfully) and offer a different and better way to achieve great meeting outcomes. The book offers case studies, step-by-step guides and templates from a range of common applications that you can download and adapt to your own needs.

Review: Qualität des Paperbacks insgesamt schlecht für den Preis - Ich habe zwei von den Büchern erhalten - das erste war ein kompletter Fehldruck, jede zweite Seite ab ca. der Hälfte des Buches war verkehrt herum eingebunden und abgeschnitten. Das zweite, als Ersatz gelieferte, war mehrfach zerknittert. Davon abgesehen hat zumindest diese Version des Buches eine schlechte Qualität insgesamt für diesen Preis. Geht daher zurück.
