Using Kore 10 Innovative
Thinking Tools (10 KITT)
The both teams – innovators and
enemies – use the same set
of metaphoric Kore 10 Innovative
Thinking Tools to invent the
next move. Each of 10 KITT can
perform four metaphoric actions.
The same seeds of inspiration
planted in a different thinking
environment produce different
fruits of ideation.
Thus every
team member brings a different
fruit to the
‘Kitchen’. |
Independent Ideation Phase
In
Innovation Brainball (Innoball)
the intellectual teamwork starts
from the independent ideation
phase in order to cultivate
diverse thoughts, ideas and
solutions.
When the
enemy creates a
challenging problem, understand
the problem as well as the
opportunities it brings along,
then set your team free to
independently cultivate
divergent thinking. Ideas from
others are hidden to avoid
groupthink. Encourage engagement
through meaningful incentives,
time constraints, and reminders.
During the independent ideation
phase team members look at the
same situation from different
points of view and come out with
a variety of solutions. These
individual contributions are
merged and synergized during the
next 'Kitchen' phase of the
intellectual teamwork.
Independent ideation helps also
manage individual
competitiveness so that is
doesn’t create barriers caused
by one person trying to top
others all the time.
Ideation on Autopilot
When Innoball is used to
strengthen a real venture
and increase its chances for
success, it's far more
beneficial to play the game
twice, on Day 1 and Day 2.
While team members relax after
the Day 1, their
→
subconscious
mind
doesn't. It keeps
ideating on autopilot,
especially while people are
sleeping.
As a result, most people come
next day with advanced ideas,
and the second Innoball game
gives further boost to the
project.
