  1. Fordj Cards1

    Always prospect for inspiration.

    Gather ideas, trends and insights from varied sources regularly; don't wait for inspiration, go looking for it everywhere.

  2. Fordj Cards2

    Give wild ideas a safe space.

    Create a space where ideas flow freely, even the strangest, because great innovations often start out looking odd.

  3. Fordj Cards3

    Polish the raw idea into a concept.

    Use critical thinking and open discussion to shape your first idea into a clearer, stronger concept.

  4. Fordj Cards4

    Build a prototype and enjoy it.

    Make simple, low-cost prototypes to test your ideas, and approach experimenting with a playful spirit.

  5. Fordj Cards5

    Put your work through the fire.

    Share your prototypes with a range of people and welcome their feedback; that furnace is what strengthens your idea.

  6. Fordj Cards6

    Make improvement a habit.

    Refine your ideas steadily based on feedback, and keep iterating until they become solid, durable solutions.

  7. Fordj Cards7

    Tie your idea to your goal.

    Shape your refined idea into an actionable plan with clear goals and measures; without strategy, it stays a dream.

  8. Fordj Cards8

    Execute precisely, adapt flexibly.

    Carry out your plan carefully, and use agile ways of working to adjust whenever circumstances or needs change.

  9. Fordj Cards9

    Measure your impact to see its value.

    Collect data and insights to measure how well your ideas work, because what you can't measure you can't improve.

  10. Fordj Cards10

    Let success fuel the next cycle.

    Start the process again, feeding what you learnt in each round into the next wave of innovation.
