Emerging Innovation: an exploratory journey into design thinking and innovation games. How can playing lead to breakthrough innovation?
Design Thinking can be used to design products, new customer experience or services, and even corporate strategy or large scale systems. Innovation Games are games whose primary intent is not pure entertainment. We learn best when we play and an increasing number of organizations have realized the enormous potential of game-based activities. Innovation Games can be applied to a broad spectrum of areas like training, hiring, generating new ideas, making meetings more effective, generating feedback about a product or service, improving communication, avoiding common decision-making pitfalls, feature prioritization, vision sharing, SWOT analysis, strategy building, reflect and learn sessions and change management... The list goes on. Organizations like Google, IBM or the United Nations use Design thinking and Games on a regular basis. Not a single month passes without a book, article, conference or training about these increasingly popular topics. The growing success of Agile methods, which put a strong emphasis on people interactions, fun and build a creativity-friendly environment, have made Design thinking and Innovation Games even more popular.

- NOKIA YAHOO # RELEASE TIME TO MARKET
- Let’s say you find something interesting, so you might circle around some of them, or exapnd your search, perhaps even an exciting field of research At some point the fuzzy goal might not make sense any more, so at any point you might change it
- Closing (Convergent) Move toward conclusions, decisions Actions and next steps Be critical and realistic At the end there is the tangible outcome. But in business it never ends So you always design for next steps
- Plaisir => sérieux, util, productif Travail => amusant, motivant, stimulant, valorisant
