cocreationcards - how to map, build and design ideas
DESCRIPTION
Here's tool that will help you and your organisation bridge from the idea to action. It's very easy to use and it does something very unique. It allows for several people at once to 1) map an idea into themes and then into an action plan but also 2) contribute with BOTH critical questions, ideas, knowledge and conclusions at the same time! That way, you keep both the idea structure, content and directionality. Instead of loosing any of the juicy bits as it happens traditionally when you mature ideas, CoCreationCards actually helps you build and design the idea. Write us at hello@ innovationembassy.com to learn how you can try CoCreationCards on an idea you have.TRANSCRIPT

3Following a simple step-by-step system, everyone writes on a coloured post-it:- Ask the CRITICAL questions - Tell what you KNOW- Place your IDEAS at any time- Reach CONCLUSIONS for action
“Headline” 1
For instance
4 When you answer the critical questions and reach the conclusions of time, resources and actions, then you have an action plan.
But there’s more in the candy bag!
- This simple to use system allows everyone to contribute with ideas at anytime.- Headlines can be changed and when working over a span of time, new questions, knowledge, ideas and conclusions can be added at any time. - OH! look at the blue post-its. That’s your projects Wikipedia.

5 The CoCreationCard system can easily be extended for use in Open Innovation.
For instance, in closed workshops with externals or in very open setting where externals are running part of the show. The four post-its will keep you in control of everything that’s going on.
CoCreationCards integrates seamlessly with the Mt Innovation process. You’ll have the advantage of an accelerated innovation process within a set structure.
Add Cube’it to the table and you’ll be able to turn the yellow (IDEA) post-its to winning solutions. You’ll also learn how to present ideas using story-telling to make your ideas irresistible
