Kickstarter | Human-Centered Change and Innovation

I am proud to announce the winning design for the Nine Innovation Roles Interactive Card Deck.

It comes to you from a $500 design contest I ran on the popular crowdsource site – CrowdSpring. As I wrote previously I was unsure whether to use 99Designs or CrowdSpring and even went so far as to throw it out as a question to the audience here to see what the wisdom of the crowd said. In the end, CrowdSpring won the business over 99Designs because they took the time to interact with me on Twitter when I was busy also asking my 12,800+ Twitter followers the same question.

Now I will post the winning design on my IndieGoGo project page to build the funding momentum for the project there. Some of you may remember that I first tried to start a project on Kickstarter but was summarily rejected – I guess for not being cool enough or arty enough. No matter. I look forward to working with the folks at IndieGoGo instead.

People have been asking me to do more with The Nine Innovation Roles since I started speaking about them at conferences and events around the world, and now I am finally doing something to answer these requests.

I am pleased to announce a crowdfunding project on Indiegogo to fund the creation of an interactive card game focused on The Nine Innovation Roles – after finding out innovation is not allowed on Kickstarter.

At the same time there is a $500 design contest underway on Crowdspring to create the designs for the card deck – and possibly posters too!

I am trying to raise $2,500 on Indiegogo to cover the design contest prize and fees, and the initial printing costs for 1,000 Nine Innovation Roles Card Decks.

You can show your support for this project by pledging any amount or by picking any of the great perks available for as little as $15.

If you are an innovation product seller or service provider, for $300 you can reserve one side of a card in the deck to be your very own in every pack sold (starting with an initial print run of 1,000 card decks), or for $500 you can have a whole card to yourself (FRONT and BACK).
