LEGO SERIOUS PLAY
Bringing Child's Play to the Frontline
Management Consultancy International consults with global brands on strategic management and planning. An exciting new aspect of their work is Lego Serious Play. As the only certified partner in Australia /New Zealand, MCI use this powerful problem solving methodology in the delivery of their programs, particularly the recently updated Frontline Management qualifications.But that's not the only change you will see in this revised version of the qualification. The new Cert 4 includes more units and is structured slightly differently that not only brings it in line with the qualification requirements, but also includes different and exciting content.
What Management Consultancy International is doing that is innovative is:
- We now provide students with all their course material in electronic format on USB's which have the following pre-loaded:
o articles for extra reading
o video and audio podcasts
o websites to visit
o e-books that are relevant to the program
o courseware that links specifically to the qualification
- We integrate the LEGO Serious Play into the sessions to ensure that participants engage in different ways with the material and learn creative thinking skills in line with the trend towards innovation
- Our content is very current. We include all the latest international thinking of major recognized management gurus from US and Denmark, particularly globally recognised management practitioners and gurus such as Robert Cialdini on negotiating skills and Patrick Lencioni on the 5 Dysfunctions of a team
- Our Frontline Management program has been acknowledged in awards - Training Australia Magazine and we were an AITD finalist
- We have electronic portfolio builders which make it far more user-friendly for participants to collect and present their evidence
"What our clients love is that by including the Lego Serious Play creative thinking tool, into our management and leadership programs, we are able to quickly identify the issues and give them an identify through the facilitated play", said Denise Meyerson, Managing Director of MCI. "It works brilliantly for organisations who have mixed cultures, reporting lines and cross functional teams as it doesn't rely on speech, powerpoint or flip charts to communicate" she added..
Whether clients need to introduce new competencies, values, staff retention strategies or customer service initiatives, an outcome of this consulting generally results in customised learning programs that help transform processes, behaviours and attitudes within the organisation.
Management Consultancy International also assists organisations to identify whether they are eligible for government funding in relation to their training requirements. We work collaboratively with the client to get them through the paperwork, consulting with them to help them get the most from their budget.
