Fraunhofer IESE “InnoCards”

Would you like to tackle challenges in your company in a more concrete way because every new idea and solution somehow feels the same? Do you want results and ideas with added value? Are you looking for a new digital solution, but every idea leads to “another app”? Then “InnoCards” can help you.

InnoCards are playing cards that create a situation-specific scenario through their card types. The scenario corresponds to your sector and addresses stakeholders, trends, and conflicts tailored to you. Together with you, we develop your own card set. Your InnoCards set is not only specially adapted to your sector and your company, but can also be used by you independently for a wide variety of problems.

InnoCards is a workshop method that helps to take a concrete look at problems. Problems can often be named, but end up in a limited solution space. Sometimes the actual stakeholders of a problem are not well understood and taken into account. InnoCards help you look at different stakeholders in different scenarios and to examine the problem area in this scenario in detail. With the help of the cards, you will no longer forget any stakeholder. And no current trend will pass by you.

As a result, you will receive individualized InnoCards that will provide new impulses again and again. The haptic cards make problems “tangible” in the truest sense of the word and can accompany you for a long time. InnoCards – your unique card set.
