Why a physical box in a digitalized world?

'Innovation' is often used as a fuzzy buzzword, and by using a Physical Toolbox it makes the concept tangible. Additionally, the gamified approach helps to engage employees of all hierarchy levels, ages and backgrounds.

Does the box always look the same?

Every business is unique, and these differences are taken into consideration by tailoring the Physical Toolboxes suited to the needs of our customers.

The only thing that always remains the same is the KICKBOOK in the RedBox phase. The reason for this is the book’s universally applicable principles that resonate with a broad audience.

What is the connection of your flagship product to Adobe Kickbox?

Mark Randall, serial entrepreneur and former VP of Creativity at Adobe, is the inventor of the Kickbox methodology.

After selling his startup to Adobe, he realized that innovation works differently in bigger companies. In 2014, he came up with the innovation toolbox concept and open-sourced the very first version of the ‘Adobe Kickbox’.

Today, Mark is a strategic advisor to the rready team and actively supports the further development of our flagship product, KICKBOX.
