Everything keeps changing in 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 connect your people, ignite their curiosity and unleash fearless innovation.
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 and communication method that unlocks innovation and problem solving, better conversations and increased adaptability and courage to navigate uncertainty and change… all enabled by a foundation of curiosity, human connection, trust, belonging and psychological safety.
Participants leave SUPERCONNECT® sessions braver, bolder, and more connected... and their creativity and innovative spirit reignited.
Using the familiarity, comfort, fun and playfulness of LEGO® bricks, the SUPERCONNECT® method offers a proven, evidence-based method to quickly and safely create trust, understanding and connection between people of all ages and backgrounds while gaining deep insight and clarity around issues that require input from many voices.
SUPERCONNECT® is especially powerful for different leaders, entrepreneurs, thinkers and doers. It levels the playing field so everyone can safely and meaningfully participate — introvert or extrovert, technical or non-technical, neurodivergent or neurotypical, intern or CEO.
SUPERCONNECT® is used across Australia, North America and Europe by leading practitioners and organisations, including Google, the University of Western Australia, Youi Insurance, and RSM.
Curious questions + purposeful play
Forget everything you know about LEGO. This isn’t building perfect cars and houses and spaceships from instructions. This is all about metaphor and story… created by thinking with your hands and in response to carefully crafted, intentional questions. It’s a way of visualising what’s in your brain and unlocking the knowledge in the room. And with everything literally on the table, it makes everything easier to see, understand and discuss.
In this way, 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 creating and sharing, together.
Built on LEGO® Serious Play®
SUPERCONNECT® is built on LEGO® Serious Play®, a methodology created by the LEGO® Group and two European business professors as a tool for developing strategy improving business outcomes. It is used by global megabrands like IKEA, Virgin and Samsung for strategy development, stakeholder consultation, and team building, to harness the power of purposeful play.
By integrating best practices from Mental Health First Aid and Trauma Informed Practice, SUPERCONNECT® enhances the power of Serious Play to create psychologically safe spaces, build trust, boost communication and create deep understanding and clarity. 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.
Based on serious research
SUPERCONNECT® draws on three disciplines 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.
When used to enhance LEGO® Serious Play®, this trio becomes a tangible, hands‑on process that lets teams build their thinking, see hidden patterns and surface insights traditional workshops miss.
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!
