LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a facilitated, hands-on methodology where participants build models with LEGO® bricks to work through real business challenges — strategy, team development, team building, creative problem-solving, and more. It's not a toy, it's the BEST business tool. You think with your hands, everyone in the room actually participates, and the models become artifacts of ideas you'd never have reached just by talking. Serious insights, seriously fun. 

A keynote inspires and activates a room, a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshop gets a team hands-on around a specific challenge, and innovation training builds lasting innovation skills and mindsets over time. Keynotes and workshops are the spark — perfect for events, offsites, retreat and lighting people up. Innovation training is where even deeper change happens: it's how your people really build the mindset and skillset to keep innovating. A lot of organizations start with a keynote or workshop and grow into training — on a discovery call we'll figure out the right entry point for you.

Yes — every innovation keynote Leo delivers is interactive, whether it's a traditional talk or a hands-on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® experience. Audiences don't sit back and watch; they actively engage, reflect and get pulled into the ideas instead of scrolling their phones in the back row. That's the whole point — an innovation keynote should demonstrate innovation, not just describe it. So there's no "interactive add-on" to ask about: interactive is simply how Leo speaks, every time. The tactics he uses, changes.

A LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® keynote is an innovation talk where the whole audience builds with LEGO® bricks — turning a keynote from something people watch into something they do. It's the most hands-on format Leo offers: you're posed a question, you build your answer, then you share the story behind it, and the room fills up with ideas that never would've surfaced from a slide deck. Playful, memorable, and it works for a boardroom or a ballroom. This is the one people mean when they say they want something their audience won't forget. Leo's done this with audiences of all roles and industries and even as large as an audience of 800. Can you imagine 800 people engaged with LEGO? Watch the highlight reel from that talk.

Every engagement is custom, so the investment and length depend on the format, your group size, and how much you want it tailored to your goals. As a rough guide: LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and innovation keynotes typically run 45–90 minutes, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops anywhere from 90 minutes to a full or multi-day session and the innovation training curriculum is two hours to four hours. However, we're very flexible, too. Tell us what you're trying to achieve on a discovery call and we'll shape something that fits.

Abound Innovation is based in the Greater Toronto Area and works with organizations across Canada, the US, and worldwide. Leo delivers keynotes and workshops both in person and virtually, and travels for in-person engagements — so location is rarely a barrier. Wherever your team is, we'll find a format that works.
