The Jump From 80/20 Meetings to 100/100 Engagement

How LSP moves teams from drifting to owning.

We all have sat through enough team meetings, and we know the pattern too well. Everyone enters with good intentions, but the moment the discussion starts, the usual dynamics take over. A couple of voices dominate the room. Someone politely pretends to listen while checking messages under the table. A deck gets presented that nobody asked for. The same two people debate while the rest “lean back.” And slowly, but surely, the meeting starts drifting into that familiar fog where nothing is really productive.

It’s not that people don’t care. It’s the meeting format that pushes most people into passive mode. Leaning in becomes optional, and frankly, most don’t. And when hierarchies take over then opinions get filtered. Important insights stay buried because not everyone feels safe or invited enough to contribute. By the end, it’s that polite “agreement,” zero ownership, and another meeting booked to “take this forward.”

This is exactly where LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® flips the script.

LEGO® bricks are put on the table and the power balance changes instantly. Everyone is building, everyone is thinking, and everyone is speaking. Nobody gets to sit quietly in the corner because the LSP method makes sure that the hands get busy, minds open up.

Instead of three voices steering the room, then you get to hear everyone. Instead of the polite nodding, you get clarity laid out in front of you that is visible, tangible, impossible to ignore. Metaphors cut through the corporate fog faster than those bullet points ever will. And because every person builds their perspective, the team finally sees the whole picture, instead of that loudest voice.

A usual meeting tries to talk its way to alignment. An LSP session builds its way there.

And when people build, they can’t hide behind jargon or hierarchy or “let’s take this offline.” It’s 100/100 lean in. The conversation becomes honest, the insights become practical, and decisions actually get made.

And here’s the most important difference:
In LSP, we never seek agreement.
We build commitment.
