Where it came from
Released in 2012, the Thinking with LEGO set was created as an educational and corporate training tool rather than a traditional building kit. Designed to facilitate creative problem-solving workshops, the set was distributed by the LEGO Group's specialized Serious Play division. The intention behind the design was to move away from rigid instruction manuals and toward a more tactile, expressive form of communication in professional environments.
The set features a curated selection of elements designed to serve as metaphors for abstract concepts in business meetings. Developed by facilitators within the LEGO Serious Play methodology, the components were chosen for their shape, color, and ability to be interpreted subjectively by participants. It was received primarily by consultants and organizational leaders as a structured way to encourage active listening and collaborative brainstorming within corporate teams.
