Changes in the time of COVID-19
Coachings with moderation toys are a well-proven approach when it comes to supporting teams in companies and organisations in times of change . However , the method itself has also experienced a particularly drastic change since the beginning of 2020 as face-to-face events were suddenly no longer possible due to the Covid-19 related restrictions . “ So we sent small sets to all the participants , with which they could work together in a virtual conference ”, says Christian Deuschle . The concept worked well : “ Nobody felt like anything was really missing . Instead , there were a lot of positive experiences with true depth and rapid implementation ”, recalls the coach . On the other hand , face-to-face coachings have the advantage of being much more dynamic and playful .
Jens Dröge sees it in a similar way , he also made use of virtual formats during the pandemic : There will probably be certain formats that remain digital in the future – in particular hybrid types of working , such as big workshops that are augmented by small , focused units in a virtual room . However , the digital formats will not completely take over face-to-face events : “ Online Lego Serious Play is no replacement for classic workshops , but a great addition ”, Dröge emphasises .
