A new way to share knowledge, insight and understanding in a challenging insurance investment environment
2019 will be a year of change. On the macro side, there is clearly Brexit to contend with, but also wider geopolitical and unilateral dynamics at play globally that are upending plans. For now, everyone is focused on the end of March, but there is plenty to consider and think about past that. Currency volatility will become a key focus most likely as investors begin to think about the Pound post Brexit and as trade tensions spill over into currency sentiment and behaviour. On the asset front, January will see the introduction of STS, which may reopen securitisation channels. Meanwhile, insurers have embraced a swathe of new assets, and are fast learning about how to originate, invest and manage these within the strictures of Solvency II. The portfolio will continue to evolve, but in the face of growing risks and volatility, is also likely to see an increased focus on downside management and carefully creating asymmetric risk-return profiles. And then, there is the question mark over regulation, as the UK diverges from Europe and as Solvency II undergoes its first reviews.

4-Day Program Overview Note: the price is in Canadian Dollars.
Day One: Foundation Program Jump into the basics on the first program. This training day introduces you to the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® tool. You will learn how to use the tools within a setting including flow theory, the use of ground rules to set the playing field, etiquette and traps to avoid along with numerous applications for different situations to prep the hand-brain connection. Background theory is provided with hands-on learning.Day Two: Teams and GroupsThe second day moves participants through processes where individual identity is explored and insight gained into how the tools can be customized for any number of workshops or processes including team workshops.Day Three: Landscape and Systems Development for Teams and Groups The third day of the training will provide you with an understanding of how to use LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® identity and landscape materials kit to build 3D models that illustrate the complex environments where entities like teams and projects and other interconnected systems function and how these environments “play out” in real time.
Day Four: Master Class Workshop Design and Practice
Day four, our final day, gives you an opportunity to develop your own road maps for workshops you want to deliver. These road maps can be for new LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops or to customize current programs you currently deliver to incorporate LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. We’ll show you how to do both.
The last part of this program lets you practice your facilitation skills in a safe environment. You will receive feedback from your colleagues and a Certified Licensed LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Methods facilitator.

Testimonials
"The LSP Facilitator course is very structured and practical. Brian & Sandra are great trainers by showcasing, inspiring & mentoring us on how to master the LSP facilitation skills step-by-step. The principles & rationale behind expanded my visions in integrating the LSP into Business Innovations, Leadership training & talent screening process as well."
-Jeff Ma
Assistant General Manager, Training & Development
"LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® used to be something that I thought I can manage pretty well even though I never played with it before; after four-day certification, I realize it requires much more than just "playing" but deeper thinking, reflection, a systematic and holistic team view, etc. It sparks better self-understanding and provokes people's interest to know the inter-connection within different subjects. I am grateful to have joined the first-ever LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® certification in Macau. Thanks, Brian and Sandra."
-Sean Tang
Business Owner and Trainer
"Being a professional trainer for over ten years, one of my biggest challenges is to get all learners engaged and equally participated. Even though blended training methods are applied to suit different learning styles, I still see that most parts of the training are dominated by more active learners. I am so glad to find that LSP is a solution. You will be amazed to see how people are engaged to build the bricks and how eager they want to share their ideas, regardless of their personality and preferred learning styles. “Learning is the creation of knowledge” - I have witnessed this in LSP."
-Rebecca Tam
Training Manager of a chain retail group
"Having two trainers also means having more perspectives when we had questions about the facilitation process. Brian and Sandra shared their precious experience in applying LSP in various fields, and provided practical insight after we designed and delivered our unique LSP facilitation experience."
