Resource Library

In the 8D Knowledge Vault, we collect and publish information about human-centered innovation. From problem definition to implementation and long-term adoption — think of it as the innovation journey. It’s complex material, which we’re committed to mapping out in an accessible way together with partners and professionals in the field. Topics include questions like: how do I integrate iterative design into my research proposal? Or: how can I increase the chances of my innovation actually reaching the end user?

By continuously sharing knowledge and experiences, we collectively elevate the sector to a higher level. Would you like to contribute to our Knowledge Vault, or is there a topic you’d like us to cover? Get in touch with Nicole at nicole@8d-games.nl.

Whitepapers

We love creating our own informative content, but we’re also regularly featured in podcasts, interviews, and news segments about innovation, gaming, and implementation. After a decade of hands-on innovation — with plenty of successes and even more lessons learned from what went wrong — Johan and Maarten have a compelling story to tell. Their experiences and vision make them inspiring speakers for any audience interested in the field.
