This deck of brainstorming cards, designed for product creators and entrepreneurs, provides an effective “brain hack” that helps rapidly re-focus on the customer, instantly identify improvement opportunities and easily generate a wide variety of solutions, allowing to avoid spending months on developing an idea that has no potential.

What is the Innovation Deck?

Based on years of solid research, the Innovation Deck is strategically designed to improve your critical and creative thinking, save you time, help you focus and, consequently, help you create better products. 

You’ll get 54 brainstorming cards that can be printed and cut out:

• 4 Instructional Cards
  
• 23 «EXAMINE» cards
  
• 23 «EXPLORE» cards
  
• 4 «EVALUATE» cards
  

Each proven technique and question is uniquely formulated to trigger a wealth of responses from your mind, allowing you to shed light on hidden areas for product improvement and rapidly generate a large selection of actionable ideas.

Use the Innovation Deck to create a breakthrough in just 3 simple steps.

Step 1. Take out twenty-three «EXAMINE» cards to examine the problem.

What you will be able to do:

• Quickly and efficiently laser-in on the most profitable, helpful, and desirable features you should include in your product
  
• Effortlessly identify crucial improvement opportunities for your new product
  
• Run small but effective “mini design reviews”, making sure that your product development project stays on track at all times
  

Step 2. Use twenty-three «EXPLORE» cards to explore all the options.

What you will be able to do:

• Quickly generate a wide range of creative solutions for any difficult technical problem, creating a large pool of innovative ideas
  
• Get unstuck FAST by transforming your “mental state” so it elegantly solves the most challenging technical problems with ease
  
• Allow yourself to take a deep breath and relax, because you’ll realize that you already possess the most innovative solution — you just need the right questions to allow those solutions to surface
  
• Transform dull, painful meetings from “ZZZzzzzzzz” to FUN! Use this deck as a game: spread the cards on the table, face down. Turn over one random card, discuss it with the team and see how novel ideas come to mind
  

Step 3.  Apply four «EVALUATE» cards to evaluate the ideas.

What you will be able to do:

• Laser-in to quickly and easily identify the most optimal, profitable solution, so you save money, energy and resources — by minimizing unnecessary design loops and saving TIME
  
• Stop in-fighting and power games that result in poor solution choice — because the rules of the game is clear, and the most innovative and winning idea naturally arises!
