My Worst Nightmare and the impending new release for the iPad added to an extensive library of games that enable organizations to do work.
Mountain View, CA – August 10, 2010. The Innovation Games® Company, the leading producer of online and in-person serious games and consulting services, today announced the release of a brand new Innovation Game® entitled My Worst Nightmare. My Worst Nightmare, a new addition to the 12 in-person Innovation Games invented by Founder and CEO Luke Hohmann and detailed in his book Innovation Games: Creating Breakthrough Products through Collaborative Play, is designed to help individuals and organizations elucidate hidden and/or unconsidered aspects of worst-case scenarios in order to develop better understanding and planning.
My Worst Nightmare has been used by individuals at varied levels of the enterprise (including executives) and was previewed by such organizations as the IP Business Congress in Munich in June 2010 and the Confluence 2010 conference.
“My Worst Nightmare was a logical choice for a series of games held at the IP Business Conference,” said Hohmann. “Industry leaders and IP executives from such companies as EADS/Airbus, Rockwell Collins and Thomson Reuters participated in parallel games, elucidating their worst nightmare C-level exec or CIPO. The game’s structure and metaphor produced key insights and pertinent issues related to the roles and responsibilities of Chief Intellectual Property Officers.”
Other recent uses of the game include an analysis of working with outside vendors and partners in order to uncover and prevent miscommunication and inefficiencies.
In addition to My Worst Nightmare, the Innovation Games team is also working on a new game targeting mobile platform, to be first released for the iPad. This mobile game is a complement to the Innovation Games Online platform, which launched in July 2009. Innovation Games Online includes four real-time Innovation Games, Buy a Feature Online, Prune the Product Tree Online, Speedboat Online and Design Your Own Visual Game. Buy A Feature is an online prioritization game that brings together groups of users to collectively decide which product features are most valuable, while Prune the Product Tree, Speedboat and Design Your Own Visual Game function as visual wikis, allowing participants to visually collaborate on ideation.
