To inspire knowledge workers and to gain more insight into what concepts or concept areas appeal to them, we have created The Concept Game. This game can be played individually or in a workshop with a group of people.

The game comes in a carton box that contains a set of 60 small cards that describe and visualize concepts aimed at future ways of working. The box also contains 6 sheets of paper and 6 paperclips. Players of the game are asked to go through the cards to find the 3 concepts that they like least and the 3 concepts that they like best. When these favourite and least favourite concepts are found they can be attached to the 6 sheets of paper using the paperclips. Finally, players can give their opinion about the chosen concepts.

We have handed out the first games to people of the Rabobank Unplugged team and are curious to find out what concepts they will choose. In the near future, more games will be handed out to employees of Future Workspaces partners. In the end, the input we get from knowledge workers that have played the game will assist us in focusing our concept development trajectories.
