Delivery Framework

The Innovation Board is the centerpiece of the Playbook. It is the hard drive for the most important data, facts and ideas of a project. It is as well the delivery framework that synchronizes makers, enablers and decision-makers.

Different Perspectives

Design Thinking, Lean, BMC etc.—the Playbook is a remix of the best theories of the wide field of user-centered design. The Innovation Board helps to translate this theory mix into practical results.

More than 40 methods

Playbook and board are divided into three major sections: EXPLORE, CREATE and EVALUATE. Each sections has its own set of methods, that helps creators to gather and analyze the right information.

Why we wrote this book

Makers and enablers speak, think and act on different levels. The Playbook helps both of them to find a common level of communication and to tackle projects without friction but with maximum success. Ultimately, both have the same goal: to create digital innovations that meet the real needs of their users.

For whom we have written this book

All the makers that want to create and improve digital products and services. Everyone that wants to make their working processes more agile. And for all the managers that want to establish open spaces for creativity and innovations in their company—we call them “enablers”.

A workbook for innovative people

“This is not a book just like any other—already starting visually: a yellow bible with the name Digital Innovation Playbook (Murmann Verlag) just attracts attention. […] The presented tools and methods are not just relevant and suspenseful for founders—but rather for all managers.”


Handelsblatt

“The book is well designed, has a clear layout and gives incentives for future processes to experienced managers/consultants.”


Matter of Design

getAbstract recommends the playbook to all designers, product developers, innovators and creatives.

“This is a “playbook” full of graphics and project templates (templates in PDF format that are available online). It is boldly written and thus easy to understand. Fortunately, because the content of the digital innovation playbook is quite demanding.”
