“…A similar approach has been presented in a paper by Ranscombe, Bissett-Johnson, Mathias, Eisenbart and Hicks [19] comparing the use of sketches, cardboard models and LEGO sets to facilitate students fluency in idea generation. Although using LEGO was an example of a slightly different visualisation method than described above, the incorporation of LEGO blocks into idea-generating phase instead of high-fidelity CAD sketches resulted in a generation of a larger number of ideas in a more collaborative way.…”

This paper presents a teaching method applied in a usability research course that is part of a bachelor degree programme at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. The method employs visualisation techniques of the user–website interaction, a design practice popular in other fields, but less often used in usability studies. The theoretical background of the data visualisation method, as well as examples of its use in research, are presented and discussed in this paper. In addition to presenting the method, the paper evaluates and analyses how students have responded to it. Using the technology acceptance model, we identified the perceived usability of the method as the main factor influencing students’ behavioural intention to use it in the future.

“…A further study used the method to assist students’ learning of corporate sustainability (Schulz et al , 2018). A recent study reports that LEGO ® Serious Play ® is seen as an educational design activity to facilitate design engineering students’ idea fluency (Ranscombe et al , 2019).…”

Purpose In the past decade, scholars across social sciences shifted their attention towards creative and dynamic research methods. Despite the growing popularity of LEGO® Serious Play® method across social sciences, few studies applied the method in tourism and hospitality research. This method represents a powerful tool which uses a toy to solve problems, explore ideas and achieve objectives in business, research and community work. This paper aims to provide insights into qualitative multi-method approach incorporating LEGO® Serious Play® to gain a deeper understanding of hosts-guest experiences in volunteer tourism exchange programme. Design/methodology/approach The empirical material mentioned in the paper is based on an interpretive study investigating hosts-guest experiences on organic farms. The study used a multi-method approach, and the data were collected through unstructured interviews, observation, reflexive notes and LEGO® Serious Play® workshops with 32 participants in total. Findings The paper highlights the benefits and limitations of the qualitative multi-method study, specifically focusing on LEGO® Serious Play® as a novel approach for tourism and hospitality research. Originality/value This study contributes to making the current body of knowledge on qualitative multi-method methodologies and creative visual methodologies in the field of tourism and hospitality. As such, the paper provides an overview of the LEGO® Serious Play® method. Specifically, this exploratory paper brings attention to how and to what end existing LEGO® Serious Play® has been modified and adopted in this multi-method study. Furthermore, the paper highlights the future use to benefit the tourism and hospitality academics and industry professionals.

“…They are therefore more willing to engage in unrestrained dialogues and exchanges of new ideas and concepts with multiple stakeholders (Robertson and Breen 2013). For LEGO, collaboration between user bases such as clubs of experts, lead users, customers, and the broader circle of other stakeholders is essential to achieve breakthrough innovation (Robertson and Breen 2013;Ranscombe et al 2019;Gauntlett 2014). In the LEGO context, stakeholders, classified as internal and external people, are capable of influencing the future strategy of the organisation.…”

This study explores the application of physical prototypes to facilitate co-creation activities involving different stakeholders through a casestudy analysis. It investigates how physical prototypes support the work of LEGO team at PG2 Front End Design Department (PG2FEDD) in co-creation processes. Additionally, this study will enhance our understanding of how physical prototypes facilitate not only knowledge sharing but also anticipating future user needs. Moreover, the study illustrates how careful deliberation and selection of 'prototypes in the broadest sense' improve co-creation practices. Results indicate that LEGO applies low-and high-fidelity physical prototypes iteratively in divergent and convergent co-creation activities to gather constructive and emphatic feedback from the stakeholders. The success of their co-creation processes is due to the strength and distinctive qualities of the LEGO system empowering people to build and foster connection and collaboration.
