Name
Agile Games Lab – The Complexity Collider: Modeling Cynefin with Bricks
Description

 

Featuring: The Cynefin Lego Game

In this experimental simulation, we collide theory with practice using the Cynefin framework as our scientific model—and Lego bricks as our test material. Each team will cycle through building challenges that represent the five Cynefin domains: Simple, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, and Aporetic.
 As models shift and break down, you’ll feel how context impacts action—and why applying the wrong method to the wrong domain can create volatile reactions. Ideal for leaders, coaches, and consultants who want a hands-on tool to make complexity theory click.

 

Day 2: Structural Integrity

Experiments in Complexity, Code, and Coaching—One Brick at a Time

Day 2 of the Agile Games Lab drops us into the world of physical thinking and 3D discovery with a single guiding principle: build to learn. In Structural Integrity, we use the humble Lego brick as a tool of exploration—engineering deeper understanding of complex systems, Agile technical practices, and the power of coaching through metaphor.

You won’t just talk about complexity—you’ll feel it in your hands. You won’t just explain continuous integration—you’ll build it from scratch. And you won’t just reflect—you’ll construct insight, layer by layer. This is a day of experimentation, imagination, and structured play designed for systems thinkers, Agile engineers, and coaching chemists alike.
