The
SUPERCONNECT®
Method

 

 

Everything has changed the game in life and at work, and as we continue to zoom and pivot through rapidly changing environments, our ability to connect with ourselves and each other has never been more important.

SUPERCONNECT® is your secret superpower to reconnect your people, ignite their curiosity and unleash their untapped creativity.

As we shift into new possibilities, human connection needs to become supercharged to collaboratively create this new future, while bringing us back to each other.

SUPERCONNECT® is globally used play-based facilitation, strategy, collaboration and engagement methodology that creates connection, clarity, bravery and confidence while enabling better conversations about what really matters.

It levels the playing field so everyone can meaningfully participate — introvert or extrovert, technical or non-technical, neurodivergent or neurotypical, intern or CEO.

Through carefully crafted, intentional questions combined with the magic of purposeful play and LEGO bricks, SUPERCONNECT® enables individuals, groups and teams of all sizes to playfully and safely explore thoughts, feelings, experiences, challenges, obstacles and even hopes and dreams by building and sharing SUPERCONNECT® is built on LEGO® Serious Play®, a methodology developed by the LEGO® Group and two European business professors as a tool for improving business outcomes.

It is this serious foundation that makes everything feel easy and magical.

Whether you want to gather deep insights from stakeholders or ignite curiosity and joy in your event attendees, SUPERCONNECT® is the secret ingredient for superconnecting, supercreating and supercollaborating in this new future.

 
 

Play is doing curiosity.

 
 

A serious evidenced-based foundation

SUPERCONNECT® combines LEGO® Serious Play® with four interdisciplinary foundations into one embodied practice:

  • Cultural anthropology teaches how to be a better observer, listener and question asker.

  • Game design turns those questions into playful experiences people want to explore.

  • Academic research on curiosity and play drawn from neuroscience, developmental psychology, leadership and business and game studies supplies the evidence base that underpins everything else.

  • Trauma Informed Practice enhances psychological safety and inclusion through the principles of safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. Already best practice in health care and social services, trauma informed care is now being adopted by other sectors to improve workplace culture and safety for everyone, regardless of one’s experience of trauma.

Are you ready to step into The Magic Circle?

SUPERCONNECT® runs on the power of curiosity and play… or what we call The Magic Circle.

When we step into The Magic Circle, the rules that hold us back no longer apply. Neuroscience shows that stepping into a state of curiosity lights up the brain’s reward circuitry and primes us to learn faster and remember more. Within that circle, failure loses its sting and becomes, in Harvard Professor Amy  Edmondson’s words, “useful negative information.”

All you need to do is watch kids playing together. They experiment, try new things, learn, iterate, and even make mistakes… all without judgement and fear.

 

 

You’re in good company!
