If you’ve ever wondered whether play has a place in serious leadership, strategy, or organizational development, the answer is a resounding yes. And our latest ELO Leadership Expert Webinar proves it.

The full replay of “What’s So Serious About Play?” featuring Dr. Jillian H. Gilbert and Dr. Wendi McGehee of Indiana Wesleyan University’s DeVoe School of Business, Technology, and Leadership is now available to watch below and on the ELO YouTube channel.

Whether you’re a CEO, team leader, entrepreneur, or someone committed to developing people, this webinar offers a fresh, practical, and energizing approach to leadership.

Why This Session Matters

Jillian and Wendi—both certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitators and highly regarded experts in leadership development, design thinking, and organizational innovation—demonstrate how play is a powerful tool to unlock strategic insight and deeper creativity. Not child’s play, but catalytic play.

In this dynamic and hands-on session, they reveal how LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® enables leaders to:

• Access deeper strategic insight through creative exploration

• Improve communication and problem-solving with 3D thinking

• Strengthen collaboration and build more aligned teams

• Navigate complex challenges with clarity, engagement, and confidence

• Drive innovation through structured creativity and purposeful play

They also share real-world examples of Fortune 100 and 500 companies applying this methodology to transform team dynamics and accelerate strategic breakthroughs.

Coming to the ELO Forums in 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Jillian and Wendi will be joining us as presenters at all three ELO Forums in 2026—Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto. This means attendees will have the rare opportunity to experience their leadership innovation work in person next year.

Unlock creativity. Strengthen your leadership. Build better teams. Sometimes the most powerful ideas begin with a single brick.
