The attached document represents the state of knowledge on the Innovation Games method in the beginning of a project.

A test workshop with students at SDU was held in October 2016 to explore how the innovation games could be further developed for organisational contexts. Later, prototypes were created for a pilot workshop at Lufthansa Systems (LSY) in Frankfurt. The workshop included managers and employees within different areas of expertise, and it revolved around both playing the game, exploring how it could nurture new innovation to emerge, as well as to reflect on further improvements to it. Till now the workshop materials have been analysed, and the upcoming steps are to re-design the game with the intention of incorporating flexibility for it to be applied in other organisational contexts, before it can be tested again at LSY in March 2017.
