In 2003, Lego were just months from bankruptcy. Their sales were plummeting & they were $800 Million in debt. Until they made ONE decision that would transform Lego into a $13 Billion empire... Here's the full story: 2003: LEGO was burning. $800 million in debt. Sales plummeting 30% year-on-year. How did it get so bad? LEGO had lost its focus: • Created jewelry for girls • Launched clothing lines • Built theme parks that lost $30M in year 1. Then in 2004, everything changed: Enter Jørgen Vig Knudstorp. His first insight? LEGO wasn't just a toy company... They were a storytelling company. Every brick was a chance for imagination. His new strategy? "Back to the brick." First step: slash complexity. Cut unique parts from 12,000 back to 6,000. But the biggest change was still to come: Instead of fighting digital, they embraced it. The digital transformation supercharged partnerships. Star Wars sets became Star Wars games. Harry Potter blocks became Harry Potter apps.
