Innovation Lab Game/Workshop
About
Do you often jump to a solution without trying to fully understand the problem first? Since our brain is wired to find solutions fast, it's not such a surprise; however, it can prevent us from being more creative.
There are plenty of problem-solving 'exercises' but not many games. That's why we created this template where you collaborate with your team on a problem while (hopefully) having fun. Use it to train your problem-solving skills, find problems you usually don't think about in the template, OR use it for your upcoming workshop.
Who is this for?
product designers, researchers, product managers
anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills
Why we love it
👀 promotes curiosity
🤝 strengthens empathy and seeing things from different perspectives
💬 brings people together to think out loud
How do I play?
pick a problem; either one from our template or your own
move one step/tile at a time uncovering the topic to brainstorm on (give space for players to think first before talking -> not everyone is an extrovert 😉)
there will be times when there are too many options, and you'll have to vote as a group
in the end, one person pitches the solution that you reached as a group
finish up with a bit of retro
