In many organizations, after years of innovation work, there are numerous projects and ideas that could not be further developed for various reasons (for example, lack of competence, non-existent technical feasibility, budget constraints or an unfavorable market situation, etcetera).
The Scheiterhaufen method brings these ideas to light in one day and reflects on them in terms of their usability against the background of a possibly changed contextual situation. Thus, following the Johari window (know-know; know-don’t know; don’t know-don’t know), inefficient white spots are avoided and, where appropriate, well-developed ideas are finally exploited.
