What do unicorns have to do with innovation?

A “Unicorn” is a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion. Startups are fast innovators, often disrupting industries and challenging the incumbents.

Startup innovation has become popular in large companies to learn agile ways of business model development and collaboration.

 

How can you prove it works? Where has it been used and how?

The Unicorn Game has been developed by a Nordic startup company, World of Insights. It has been played in over 25 countries by thousands of people from all levels of organisations.

It has been implemented in several training programs, workshops and corporate accelerators.

Large companies such as Deloitte, Euroclear, Nestlé and Siemens have used it to advance innovation culture, while several individual facilitators and consultants have taken it on board to use the game with their clients.

Pricing

The Unicorn Game can be used in one-time events, such as a team kick-off or an in-house company event. Many organisations and facilitators deploy the workshop in ongoing training sessions throughout the year.
