About Playformative

Playformative is grounded in inclusivity, curiosity, empathy and trust.

Founded in 2025 to use play at work to spark meaningful growth, learning, and transformation.

Play isn’t just fun, it’s formative. It helps people shape ideas, relationships, and strategies in ways that are creative, productive, and human-centered.

We believe that serious work doesn’t have to feel so serious. In fact, some of the best ideas and breakthroughs happen when people feel safe, creative, and free to explore. That’s why we design hands-on workshops and coaching sessions that use the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method and other playful tools to solve real problems. You don’t have to be creative or love LEGO® to get something out of one of our workshops. These sessions are for anyone who wants to grow, solve problems, or get unstuck all with a little more play and a lot less pressure.

Whether you’re leading a team, running a business, managing a family, figuring out what’s next, or just feeling stuck, Playformative helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our workshops and coaching sessions are:

  • Creative: We use building, storytelling, and reflection to unlock new ways of thinking.

  • Strategic: We guide you toward clear goals, strong insights, and practical next steps.
