Stimulating understanding, communication and problem solving:
The Value-based Goal Setting Program by using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (“LSP”) was designed for 40 insurers from an international insurance company. Being an insurer that customers can trust goes beyond the technical elements of risk management, and extends to how to listen and talk to customers from the point of sale to the time when claims are filed. LSP involves intensive exchange of ideas among each other. This exchange always creates a lot of feelings and enthusiasm. Our facilitators don’t have all the answers. The workshop outcome depends on hearing all the voices from inside the room. As the workshop progressed, all participants had gotten a glimpse of teammates’ personality quirks and were able to relate to each other better. The biggest outcome of the learning session was stimulating understanding, communication and, problem solving which then created an environment with insight, confidence and commitment.
