Using Innovation360 Flash Cards to Design Innovation Workshops

The Innovation360 Flash Cards are a powerful tool designed to facilitate exploration of team capabilities and identify specific paths forward. These cards are not just simple prompts; they are structured to guide teams through a thoughtful process of discovery and innovation. Here’s how you can use these cards to design innovation workshop.

1. Identify Workshop Objectives: Start by defining the goals of your workshop. What do you hope to achieve? Whether it’s developing new product ideas, solving complex problems, or fostering team collaboration, having clear objectives will guide the use of the flash cards effectively.
2. Engage Participants: Use the flash cards to engage participants in hands-on activities. For example, each card can represent a different capability or challenge that the team needs to address. By working through these cards, participants can uncover new insights and develop innovative solutions.
3. Facilitate Collaboration: The flash cards are designed to encourage cross-functional collaboration. Assign different cards to different team members or groups and have them share their findings with the entire team. This collaborative approach helps to break down silos and promote a more integrated way of thinking.
4. Develop Actionable Strategies: As teams work through the flash cards, they can begin to identify actionable strategies that align with the workshop’s objectives. This ensures that the ideas generated during the workshop are not just theoretical but can be practically implemented.

Enhancing Workshops with the Wheel of Innovation

In addition to the flash cards, the Wheel of Innovation floor-mat is another excellent tool to enhance your innovation workshops. This large, interactive mat helps visualize the innovation process and encourages active participation. Here’s how to incorporate it into your workshops:

1. Visualize the Process: Lay out the Wheel of Innovation floor-mat in a central location. This mat visually represents the different stages of the innovation process, providing a clear roadmap for participants to follow.
2. Interactive Exercises: Use the mat to conduct interactive exercises. For instance, have participants stand on different sections of the wheel to represent where they believe their current projects are in the innovation process. This physical interaction can help teams better understand and discuss the stages of innovation.
3. Facilitate Discussions: The visual and interactive nature of the mat makes it a great tool for facilitating discussions. Encourage participants to move around the mat as they discuss different aspects of their projects, which can help to stimulate new ideas and perspectives.
4. Integrate with Flash Cards: Combine the use of the Wheel of Innovation with the flash cards for a comprehensive workshop experience. For example, after working through the flash cards, have participants place their cards on the corresponding sections of the wheel. This integration helps to create a cohesive and structured approach to innovation.
