Innompic Games: EXAMPLES of INNOVATIONS - Innoball games, invention of a new product

Rope >> Running on a leash >> Founders are too attached to their own perceptions and preferences, so Innompic Games fail to connect with diverse global audience >> >> Balloon >> Take a cosmonaut view >> Global network of Goodwill Ambassadors (Innossadors - examples of Names)

Examples >> Innoball & 10 KITT >> Impoving the Innoball Process

Temptation to conquer the opponent	It's too easy for an innovation team to make an imaginary project hugely successful as well as for their enemy to kill the project my making unrealistic moves.
		Communicating the objectives	The organizers will explain the teams that the objective of both innovators and their enemies is not to kill each other, but to demonstrate their entrepreneurial creativity skills. The opposing teams should adopt the Win-Win Mindset ‒ they should stretch, not kill each other. The better they do so, the higher marks they get.

Too little light	Moves are described too broadly which makes the opponent's responses too presuming.
		Clarifying questions	Having received the description of an opponent's move, a team may ask up to three clarifying questions. The ability to ask and answer clarifying questions is a part of the "Entrepreneurial Strategies" assessments.

Intellectual teamwork is too chaotic. It's often dominated by a single person, while other contribute too little. >> "Garden" and Kitchen"

Ideas are poorly synergized. >> SPIN

Team leaders have too little time for evaluation of all the ideas submitted by the team members. >> Teams will assign a weight to each guiding principle to enable quick ‒ within a matter of seconds ‒ evaluation of an idea.

Judges have no criteria for evaluation of anticipation skills >> The teams will be asked to provide a structured description of their move ‒ (1) Kore 10 Tool used (2) Symbolic action (3) Precise action ‒ to make evaluation easier and better.

Evaluation of the idea selection skills of the team leader is too intuitive >> Weighted criteria

Anticipation of attacks and Idea evaluation by judges

... >> ... >> Evaluation of ideas by Judges / Volunteers / Internet spectators may be influenced by personality of players and nationality of a team >> Flash Light >> Turned Off >> Players and teams will be hidden behind symbolic names (Team A, Player A1, Player A2, etc.). Real names will be revealed after all the evaluations have been completed.

Flashing Light >> Battery is down >> A team fails to invent a new product or service, so it cannot participate in further contests >> Fishing Rod >> Get one >> A set of inventions to chose from

Improving Assessments

Brood (Rejecting) - Too few contests for assessing creative marketing skills. >> Trophy (Standing out) Having a product enhanced thanks to an Innoball game, teams will create three headlines for different types of mass media: business media, social networks and a general interest TV channel

Helping Spectators Shine

Good spectators' ideas won't reach the judges if valuenteers who pre-assess spectators' ideas are not competent enough. >> A sample Innoball game will be played in advance to both teach the judges and the valuenteers to assess ideas and evaluate their idea evaluation skills. In addition, during the Innompic Torch Relay, Judges and Valuenteers assess each message to the World simultaneously. The author of the best message is rewarded. Assessment skills of each valuenteer are pre-evaluated and weighted before the Games begin.

Increasing Benefits for All Involved / Growth Strategies

Large groups of people don't feel associated with the focus groups of participants (startups) >> Future expansion - special teams: Physically Challenged, Teens under 18, Refugees, ... A separate tournament for larger corporations (separate e-Coach and Innoball). Separate tournament for universities. If the teen team performs well and attracts a lot of spectators, a separate tournament for teen will be established (slide - growing team categories)

Internet-based Games

End-user opinion is not counted in evaluation of contestants' ideas >> Internet-spectators will be provided with an opportunity to give marks to contestants' ideas. For an average spectators' mark to be counted, at least 1,000 spectators should evaluate an idea. In case the spectators' and the judges' mark of an idea differ too sharply, a third-party evaluation will be made that will have an impact on evaluation of both the idea and the judges. Special prizes will be given to the public-opinion winners.
