TAKING ON THE IMPROBABLE
Methodological card game
The aim of the methodological card game “Taking on the improbable” is to consider methodologies, attitudes and aptitudes for innovation, with the idea or sharing predetermined statements and expressing new ones. It helps us to discover our (sometimes hidden) capabilities, intuitions, skills, fears, prejudices, values, etc. when it comes to posing social and organisational challenges. Taking on the improbable is a game conceptualised by artist-consultant François Deck that has been adapted by Conexiones improbables and published by Artehazia Cultural Innovation, Arts and Society Association.
The initial proposals, displayed on 48 hexagonal cards (8 of them blank to help incorporate new ideas into the game) were enriched by the contributions of people who experimented with the methodology beforehand. In contrast to the idea of “good method”, the game tackles the desires, views, experiences, roles, studies, customs, styles, resources, tools, rhythms, etc. of the protagonists and their social environment.
The game is available in six languages: Basque, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Chinese.
IMPROBABLE CHALLENGES, STRATEGY AND INNOVATION
Methodological card game
“Improbable Challenges” is a game comprising hexagonal cards that can help participants perform two important tasks for their organisations by using this visual thinking tool: establish their strategic framework (“Strategic Challenges”, on side A of the cards) and/or their priorities for innovation and transformation (“Innovation Challenges”, on side B), according to the situation in which each organisation finds itself.
The tool can also be used by individuals (entrepreneurs, company executives...) or as a group, whether it is an organisation linked to collective processes or a group of organisations in the form of clusters, federations, professional associations, etc.
The objectives can be various: to strategically orientate or define territorial policies (neighbourhoods, cities, regions...) or to define a public or sectorial innovation system (health, culture, education, urban planning...).
The game is played by constructing “molecular organic maps”; in other words, visual representations of the interconnection and interdependence of concepts in a natural and systematic manner, establishing links and probable and improbable challenges (with the latter providing the most interest).
