Presented January 10, 2018
Presenter: Karen Lynch, Sr. Director, Qualitative Insights
We invited attendees at the Corporate Researchers Conference this fall to play with LEGO® bricks in response to a research question and watched their creative juices flow. They enjoyed building models with their hands while uncovering new insights into their own relationship to their research. This directed play moved professional researchers into imagining themselves in future scenarios using an innovative approach, PlayFULL Insights, which unlocks System 3 (Prospective) thinking. Through play they expressed their aspirations for the future and provided examples of PlayFull applications for consumer research and other problem solving.
In this webinar, we’ll:
- Share models created by researchers along with their stories
- Demonstrate the power of play to help people dig deeply into their imaginative Prospective, or System 3, thinking
- Show applications of this approach to group problem solving for many arenas
Spoiler alert: PlayFULL Insights® is a qualitative method where participants use LEGO® bricks to build stories in response to carefully-crafted questions working towards faster and greater understanding of key research needs. The models created become tangible representations of people’s thoughts; the stories they tell provide insight into their memories and imaginations and the complex nuances of their prospective thinking.
