Try our game:  YES AND! [BETA]
Overview
"Yes, and..." is the opposite of "yeah but."  Yes and builds on ideas. Yeah but stifles ideas.  Yes and is the tenant of improvisational comedy and takes you places that you had no idea you were about to go.

The goal of the game
The goal of this game is to help you experience how saying 'YES AND' helps ideas grow.

Reflection questions after you play the game
  • How does saying "Yes, and..." help create innovative cultures?
  • How did it feel to not know where the 'conversation' was headed with the computer?  What surprised you about the computer's responses?
  • In 'yes and' there are no right or wrong answers.   How does this help with innovation?
  • Some people when they play this game in person mention they are afraid to say the wrong thing.   Why do you think that is?  How does relate to what was done in Modules 1 and 2?
  • Many people are not comfortable with playing this game with others, especially in public when other people are watching or listening. Why do you think that is? 
  • What would your team, group, or company culture feel like if people said 'yes, and' more than they said 'yeah but.'
  • What is the risk of saying yes and to everything?

This is not designed to be a stand alone game...and it is NOT perfect
The Innovation Company subscribes to the Agile/rapid iteration approach to product development.   Design, release, get feedback, adjust....and repeat, repeat, repeat.  We don't have all the answers so our belief is to launch our first game - many more are coming - knowing that one of the keys to our success will be incorporating feedback from users.  Please send us your feedback by clicking here.  

Why the characters Mustard and Corn?
The characters are inspired by our book, Mustard Doesn't Go On! Corn - how respect, openness, and a simple process for innovation can lead to great ideas.   Click here to learn more about the book.
