A deck of cards that describe characteristics of digital solutions and digital technology. This tool not only opens up new technologies, it also gives new ideas when you combine the cards in different ones variations.
A deck of cards that describe characteristics of digital solutions and digital technology. This tool not only opens up new technologies, it also gives new ideas when you combine the cards in different ones variations.
This is a deck containing two different types of cards: one that describes characteristics of digital solutions and one with digital technology.
Sometimes it's easy to get locked into a certain type of technology available when generating ideas. This tool not only opens up new techniques, but also gives new ideas when you combine the cards in different ones variations. Cloud based + VR can suddenly mean something completely new in your context and contribute to new creativity and new ideas around digital.
At idea generaring and with advantage during a workshop. This tool works well in groups of 2 -10 people.
Before du anturn over these cards, it may be good to do some simple warm-up exercises, so that creativity flows more easily in the group. Brain sketching can for example be a good exercise to start with.
After this exercise might it be appropriate with an exercise that builds on the new ideas and thoughts that have circulated in the group.
Download the pdf file below, print and cut out. Feel free to use thicker paper so that the cards last for many workshops.
Shuffle the cards and readtimes them then in two piles (see color on the back infor division). Take turns opening up the top cards in the stacks. Combine and discuss! Do you want to continue after going through the cards? Shuffle and start over with new combinations. Continue until you feel like you've got it enough with good ideas or it's time for the next exercise - now with new heights in technical thinking.
This isn't a huge deck, but they open up a lot of exercises and approaches. Find the way that suits you best!
As a final exercise, you can open all the cards. What happens if you combine 3 of the cards? New ideas?
An alternative is to create groups of 6 people and then divide the cards so that everyone gets 2 each (one with an attribute and one with a technique). Open the cards individually and think about possible solutions using them. Then discuss around the table as everyone shares their ideas and thoughts.
