Innovation Infusions

We love helping companies and teams with innovation challenges of all sizes from large scale idea to prototype and launch efforts down to simple efforts to instill an innovation mindset. We are often asked about easy ways to stimulate innovative thinking so we made a list of our favorite “infusions” – 10 fun and effective tools you can use to get your team thinking creatively. Also, check out our innovation blog posts for more ideas.

Check out our Top 10 and let us know if you’d like to talk more about innovation.

Top 10 Innovation Infusions

Some Games We Created

We love using games as exercises in our ideation sessions, design thinking workshops, and team building efforts. Using games sparks creativity, helps build collaboration, and even makes a tough topic approachable. Some of our favorite game resources are Innovation Games, Gamestorming, Standford d.school , and Doodle Revolution. Inspired by their creativity we have developed a few games of our own that we want to share.

For each game we are giving you everything you need to facilitate the game, you simply need to download the PDFs. We only ask that you keep the Clearworks logo on the printouts and credit us where appropriate. If you have any questions or want to chat about our games you can reach out at hello@clearworks.net. Have fun!
