It was a very exciting day in the Kelley household. The sample cards arrived today from the printers for the Nine Innovation Roles Interactive Card Game. I received ten decks of 54 cards each, for a total of 540 cards for me to bring next week to hand out to the 650 attendees at the Front End of Innovation conference in Orlando, FL (May 15-17, 2012). You can save 20% on the conference with discount code FEI12BRADEN. To let people see the sample cards I recorded a couple of videos that I would love to get your thoughts on (and some feedback on the cards in them too).
