Workshop Designing Human Connection at Work

Workshop Designing Human Connection at Work

What if the greatest design challenge in modern organizations isn’t products or technology, but human interaction itself?

In this highly interactive multimedia workshop, PlayInnové explores how intentional engagement design can transform communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation within teams. Through storytelling, visuals, creative exercises, and hands-on collaborative experiences inspired by LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods, participants will experience how environments can be intentionally designed to reduce friction, increase psychological safety, and unlock more meaningful human connection.

This session brings the concept of the “Human Operating System” to life, examining how pause, purpose, and play influence the way people share ideas, solve problems, and contribute within organizations and communities.

Guests will leave with practical tools and fresh perspectives for designing more engaging, inclusive, and human-centered experiences in the workplace and beyond.
