Building Values & Purpose

Turning what matters into How we work.

Building Values & Purpose — Workshop

Session Overview

To create a meaningful, shared understanding of who we are, what we stand for and why we exist, using LEGO® Serious Play® to uncover the values and purpose that should guide the organisation and its people.

Rather than developing values through discussion alone, participants will build, explain, explore and connect ideas, allowing deeper perspectives and often unspoken assumptions to surface.

By building, explaining and connecting ideas, participants surface deeper perspectives and unspoken assumptions — creating a shared foundation for the organisation's values and purpose.

Outcomes & Goals

Objectives

By the end of this session, your team will have:

Identified the values that genuinely matter and explored what those values mean in practice

Built a shared representation of the organisation's values

Developed a collective understanding of the organisation's purpose

Connected values → purpose → behaviours

Identified behaviours that demonstrate the values — and behaviours that undermine them

Created a shared visual representation to use as a foundation for further strategy or culture work

The Methodology Advantage

What Makes This Session Different

This is not a traditional workshop session. Using LEGO® Serious Play®:

Every Participant Has a Voice

Every participant has a voice and takes part — no one sits on the sidelines, and diverse insights are surfaced from everyone in the room.

Communicate Through Metaphor

Using metaphors allows people to communicate more creatively and authentically, surfacing ideas and assumptions that words alone might not reach.

Open, Honest & Connected Dialogue

Conversations become more open, honest, and create real connection — participants leave the session with greater energy and engagement.

The hands-on session encourages creativity, meaningful dialogue and connection.
