LUNCH SPECIAL FOR MARCH

As a special treat for this month's lunch I have invited anthropolgist and Torch pal Aaron Dus to lead a workshop on Lego Serious Play. ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED AND THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT sLAB. The fee goes to cover the cost of the Lego, which you will get to keep.

OUT OF THE BRICK
From LEGO bricks to learning platforms

We live in a society that has lost sight of the value of play as an enabler for unleashing our creative imagination as a problem-solving tool. How as creative thinkers can we build a platform that values Constructionism, Play, Imagination, and Identity as a interplay between learning and sharing?

Today's brown bag discussion focuses on creating a living laboratory that embodies the values of serious play through the use of LEGO Bricks and the LEGO Serious Play (LSP) methodology. The bricks will serve as a kinesthetic tool and platform for constructing a 3D model that re-engineers our assumptions of 21st Century learning competencies.

Come join our play provoking discussion.

At Torch we think differently about the purpose and value of design. By treating business problems as problems of design we are able to develop a richer point of view on the problem itself. This creates a deeper understanding of the problem’s dynamics, and leads to a diversity of unique insights to the problem, its causes and its effects. Our greatest ambition as designers is to improve the businesses we serve. We focus our attention on creating alignment between your organization’s strategy and it’s design for creating value: from structure to processes, communications and core capabilities.
