A Case Study of Using the LEGO🄬Workshop to Promote Teamwork in Human Resource Development Study Group

Abstract

The Human Resource Development Study Group (SG) is composed of members who belong to corporate sponsors of the PMI Japan Chapter. At regular monthly meetings, members from various industries and occupations and of all ages share their thoughts and concerns in the actual workplace and exchange opinions. In the past, activities were conducted face-to-face, but after the Corona Disaster, activities were mainly conducted online in a remote environment, and communication among members and promotion of teamwork became an issue. Therefore, a workshop utilizing LEGO🄬 Serious Play🄬 (LSP) was conducted to promote mutual understanding and teamwork among members. Questionnaire surveys on the workshops confirmed the high satisfaction of the participating members with the workshops and the promotion of self-understanding and mutual understanding. This paper reports the practical results of the workshop utilizing LSP at the training camp of the Human Resource Development SG, which was conducted in 2023 and 2024.
