Gave its world-class design teams enough space to create and direction to deliver built a culture where profitable innovation flourishes In the late 1980s LEGO introduced a system so that designers could work out the Full Cost of Manufacturing or FCM and thus work out how much each kit would cost but during the late 1990s designers were allowed to untether themselves from this metric and by 2003 this problem became so serious that it threatened the autonomy of the company.

For the 2022 LEGO Play Well Study, the company polled more than 55,000 parents and children in over 30 countries and found that almost all parents think children strengthen their creativity (93%), communication (92%), problem-solving skills (92%), and confidence (91%) while they play. When children play, they develop skills that help them thrive in a rapidly changing world. Then it talks about the 7 truths of innovations that Lego used to move the company forward. But here it also talks about how pursuing these truths led Lego to the brink of bankruptcy.

Reading this book was like playing business school buzzword bingo. While it is possible that Lego was one of the most buzzword compliant companies of all times with Blue-Ocean Strategy, Clayton Christensen, Open Innovation, Innovation Matrix all making appearances. But given the short shrift the author spends in describing how these strategies were used in the company it’s impossible to tell. This book is about Legos. It shares the peaks and valleys history of the company from the beginning to now. The focus is on the business interesting case study of Lego from 1999 - 2009. around 1999 seems the Christiansen family wasn't particularly diligent in their oversight of Lego, and the empire was grown rapidly in spite of no profits in the new businesses. Our training programmes are fun, engaging and inspirational. With high quality videos, interactive activities, playful quizzes and short, easily digestible modules, the Initiate course is one of the most fun online courses around!

Big companies such as film studios, toy companies, survive because they produce a large slate of products and the occasional hits generate enough income to pay for the misses. There's no magic formula and the way that the book takes different Lego projects and trys to say, 'this is a success becaause this rule was followed,' or 'this is a failure because they didn't follow rule X,' is absurd. You get to learn with our very own Dr. Gina Gomez de la Cuesta, Clinical Psychologist and author of the LEGO therapy manual and several research articles.
