Gamestorming

A collection of more than 80 games, gathered by Dave Gray, Sunni Brown and James Macanufo from innovative professionals and their teams, sets out to bring both creativity and structure to group work. The games are meant to break down barriers, improve communication and produce new ideas, insights and strategies. Some use visual thinking to help cross-disciplinary teams collaborate, others have people role-play customer and user experiences, and others simulate complex systems or trace a problem to its root cause. The authors also present them as ways to resolve conflict, raise engagement and run shorter, more productive meetings.

Populum co-founder Ola Olusoga said he was rereading it after skimming it before, and praised its examples of frameworks that turn fuzzy ideas into tangible output.
