Human Drives cards

As we try to solve complex problems, we encounter paradoxes: statements that contradict themselves, that are true and false at the same time. The best solutions to a complex problem address both sides of its paradoxes.

The paradox cards set is an ideation tool for consciously bringing together the paradoxical sides of a problem to achieve solutions for the whole. It is about AND thinking instead of OR thinking. It allows you to generate unusual viewpoints and find solutions that suit all in spite of multiple perspectives.

How to use the paradox cards set?

  • First, you pick the cards that fit your requirements or that could inspire you for the problem you are trying to solve.
  • Then, you ideate on the extremes of each card, either separately or combined.
  • Finally, you combine the solutions for both extremes into your concept for a solution.
