Think with your hands - an intro to Lego Serious Play

Biography

Ellen Grove helps teams do great work (and have more fun in the process) through coaching them to create the circumstances in which they can work most productively. Her Agile coaching practice is founded in over a decade of experience leading software testing, development and implementation teams in global enterprises, a passion for exploratory software testing and user-centered design, and a background in community organization. She uses team-building, facilitation and games to support the transition to collaborative work at the team, managerial and enterprise level, and has conquered the challenges of extending Scrum roll-outs to off-shore development partners and multi-site project teams. Training to be a certified facilitator in StrategicPlay® with Lego® SERIOUS PLAY® is the most fun Ellen's had at work in recent history.
