| @intHRface |
EDIT: 22.04.2024 - Conference Title Updated!
This week's article is all about what I perceive to be, without a doubt. the most exciting work-related event in my diary every year and I am so looking forward to it. If you are a trained facilitator of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method, this is certainly something that may be of interest to you.
Dates: Wednesday 2nd - Thursday 3rd October 2024
Location: Hotel Legoland and Conference, Billund, Denmark
This conference takes an unconventional approach, using the concept of "the right kind of wrong" to challenge traditional views on mistakes. Through LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® exercises and inspiration from world-class facilitators, you'll explore how to learn from mistakes, embrace innovation, and avoid becoming boring!
Traditional View of Mistakes:
Typically, mistakes are seen as something negative, leading to failure and needing to be avoided. In our Mindfulness studies and practice, we are often invited to fail epically and so I am really looking forward to joining the dots in terms of my own methodologies.
"The Right Kind of Wrong" Perspective:
This conference flips the script. They're using the idea that some mistakes, if approached correctly, can be valuable learning experiences. It's about embracing smart mistakes as opportunities for growth and innovation.
Speakers include:
Harvard Professor, Author, Speaker and Advisor - The number one globally ranked management thinker in 2023.
The Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society.
Her 2019 book, The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation and Growth (Wiley), has been translated into 15 languages. Edmondson’s latest book, Right Kind of Wrong (Atria), builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about, discussing, and practicing the science of failing well.

CEO of IntHRface, Chief Executive Trainer in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method.

And here's how LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® ties in:
This methodology uses building with LEGO® bricks to spark creative thinking and problem-solving. It provides a playful and engaging way for participants to explore ideas related to mistakes. By building models and telling stories about them, attendees can reframe mistakes as stepping stones and develop strategies to learn from them effectively.
Overall, the conference is using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® to help people:
- See mistakes as opportunities for growth, not just something to avoid.
- Develop practical skills to learn from mistakes and use those learnings to improve.
- Become more innovative and interesting in their work by embracing a culture that encourages exploration and experimentation.
This conference is for ALL trained facilitators in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method. It does not matter where and by whom you have been trained – you are welcome here!
