The kits are analog tools designed to help you ideate, brainstorm and explore new ideas. Each kit is a collection of building blocks such as technologies, business models, trends, needs and channels. Combine them, mix and match or mash them up to help you solve (big and small) challenges, create new ideas, or improve existing ones.
Brainstorming and design thinking methods used in workshops, hackathons and design sprints often start with a stack of post-its and an empty wall. This approach can easily become quite unstructured and ad-hoc. By having the building blocks in your hands right from the start, you can instead focus on the act of combining them or finding ones that can improve your ideas, without having to come up with everything from scratch.
Example: A startup combine cards from MethodKit with Trends, with Human Needs and with Technologies to come up with a new hardware device concepts to complement their existing app.
Below are three examples of how the cards can be used. ExploreCard mechanics and Exercises for many more examples.
