Here's tool that will help you and your organisation bridge from the idea to action. It's very easy to use and it does something very unique. It allows for several people at once to 1) map an idea into themes and then into an action plan but also 2) contribute with BOTH critical questions, ideas, knowledge and conclusions at the same time! That way, you keep both the idea structure, content and directionality. Instead of loosing any of the juicy bits as it happens traditionally when you mature ideas, CoCreationCards actually helps you build and design the idea. Write us at hello@ innovationembassy.com to learn how you can try CoCreationCards on an idea you have.
2. Here’s a person who knows of
a need
...... and has this brilliant IDEA
He gets a group together to design the idea
using CoCreationCards. That leads to an
action plan everyone contributed to.

Following a simple step-by-step
system, everyone writes on a
coloured post-it:
- Ask the CRITICAL questions
- Tell what you KNOW
- Place your IDEAS at any time
- Reach CONCLUSIONS for action
“Headline” 1
For instance
4 When you answer the critical
questions and reach the
conclusions of time, resources
and actions, then you have an
action plan.
But there’s more in the candy bag!
- This simple to use system allows
everyone to contribute with ideas
at anytime.
- Headlines can be changed and
when working over a span of
time, new questions, knowledge,
ideas and conclusions can be
added at any time.
- OH! look at the blue post-its.
That’s your projects Wikipedia.

4. 5 The CoCreationCard system
can easily be extended for
use in Open Innovation.
For instance, in closed
workshops with externals
or in very open setting
where externals are
running part of the show.
The four post-its will keep
you in control of
everything that’s going on.
CoCreationCards integrates
seamlessly with the Mt
Innovation process. You’ll
have the advantage of an
accelerated innovation
process within a set
structure.
Add Cube’it to the table
and you’ll be able to turn
the yellow (IDEA) post-its to
winning solutions. You’ll
also learn how to present
ideas using story-telling to
make your ideas irresistible

5. 6 Use CoCreationCards to
ensure that idea or project
content and directionality
is strengthened and not
lost.
Learning to use
CoCreationCards, you will

A longer project:
After the first workshop, the
process can continue as a
dynamic map. People can
