With a good friend passing through town, I thought it would be interesting to try to hybridise 2 very effective method of innovation and personal development:
- “Design Your Life®” inspired by Prof Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. See Design Your Life Institute.
- “Lego Serious Play®”, by Ramussen Consulting.
We had an hour or less to play, so I tried to keep it really tight but meaningful
It was a lot of fun, and productive!
