In Practice

"The urge to understand and to be understood is universal. After years in the innovation ecosystem, I wanted to go one level deeper. Past the surface of connections, into the shared language that makes collaboration stronger. That's why I built JARGON."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out directly.

How can I use JARGON?
+

Pick up a batch of cards when you have time. Each card is designed for short learning moments — before a meeting, during a break, or on the go.

The physical format keeps terms visible and within reach, helping you build understanding through active recall. Use JARGON on your own, or bring the cards into workshops, onboarding sessions, and strategy discussions.

What is the benefit of a deck of cards?
+

A physical deck makes learning more focused and intentional. Print supports slower reading, better attention, and stronger comprehension than screen-based browsing.

JARGON turns that into a practical format: one term at a time, easy to discuss, remember, and apply.

How do I navigate the deck?
+

Every card belongs to a learning phase and a category.

The four learning phases guide your order — start with The Base and work your way up. Categories tell you what type of term you're looking at: a method, a structure, or a dynamic.

Phases are your learning path. Categories are your reading aid.

Can I use JARGON alone or also in groups?
+

Both. Use it alone to build your understanding at your own pace, or in groups to align language, challenge assumptions, and spark focused discussion.

How are the terms selected?
+

Each term is carefully curated with input from innovation experts.

The selection focuses on language that professionals actually encounter in innovation work — from strategy and governance to experimentation, ventures, and scaling.

Will there be more editions?
+

Yes. JARGON is designed as a growing series. Future editions will explore the language of other professional fields and disciplines.

I have a question, idea, or edition request. Who can I reach?
+
