What's the MVP?

Cards that make it easy to plan,
respond, & improvise.

Use them when you’re making an agenda to integrate creative ways to work with your group. Keep some in your back pocket (literally) for when the unexpected happens.

Planning

Easily map out the processing tools and flow you'll use to accomplish your goals. Jot down the activity you're planning on each card. Erase or reorder — flexibility on demand.

Responding

When a new need presents itself during a facilitation, choose from your remaining cards to react accordingly. Give your group the power to help steer the ship.

Improvising

Have an hour left that you weren't expecting? Did your ideation activity fall flat on its face? No worries! Shuffle the deck. Choose another card.

For Co-Facilitating

Sharing a common language and a comprehensive set of tools, you can seamlessly work alongside other facilitators. Whether it's your first time teaming up or the thousandth.

Pick the perfect
tool for the job.
