1. Funding2. Partnerships3. Research4. Badge system design5. Time management6. Technical resources7. Design resources
1. Funding
How might you actively think about the personnel and
required resources needed to build your best possible badge
system?
2. Partnerships
How might you freely imagine the system that you might be
able to build with others?
3. Research
How might you intentionally plan for the ways that badges
may influence you & your teams as well as your badge
earners?
4. Badge System
How might you consciously think about the genealogy of your system and it’s future
growth?
5. Timing
How might you deliberately plan for a full system life cycle?
6. Technology Resources
How might you best architect your team to fail fast and
maximize success?
7. Design Resources
How might you dynamically explore the most compelling visual representation of your
system?
