The Kickbox Foundation is a community of Kickbox enthusiasts and practitioners. Here you can find Kickbox open-source material from Adobe and rready, and exchange thoughts with other members.
Kickbox is a corporate innovation methodology which activates employees to innovate and create lasting business impact. Originally, it was invented to drive internal innovation initiatives at Adobe, by Mark Randall, serial entrepreneur and former VP of Creativity at Adobe. Later, parts of the material were open-sources and thousands of companies adapted it. An extensive adaptation was done by rready, a Swiss spin-out of Swisscom.
The Kickbox Foundation exists to give back to the global innovation community by providing materials and insights to aspiring innovators and organizations.
Kickbox is the world’s most popular enterprise innovation framework based on a methodology invented by Adobe and further shaped by rready.
It has been implemented at thousands of organizations, ranging from multi-nationals (3M, Cisco, Caterpillar, MasterCard, Swisscom, P&G, Roche, Implenia, Zurich Insurance) to educational institutions (ETH, UNSW, USC), to government agencies (DARPA, United Nations) and non-profits (Peace Corp, Gates Foundation, Kickstart-Innovation, Careum).
Kickbox has been also featured in several academic publications, such as Harvard Business Review.
The methodology enables every employee to take an active role in the company’s innovation process: submitting, validating, and executing their own ideas. Controlled freedom and support is given to the intrapreneurs in the beginning of the innovation process, and every idea giver has the chance to prove their idea as valuable to the company.
This process is supported by a physical innovation toolbox. Are you curious to see what’s in the original toolbox of Adobe or rready? Or are you eager to know how the Kickbox method has developed over the years?
