“The LEGO Experience had a greater impact on us than many traditional training formats before. Our teams didn't just talk about collaboration and dependencies—they experienced them firsthand. What was particularly valuable was how quickly common patterns became apparent and how concretely the lessons learned could then be transferred to our everyday work. The format creates clarity, energy, and a shared understanding that has a lasting effect.”
