Ways to run a session
Start from the curated library below, generate a bespoke blueprint with AI, or run an open innovation session when the brief is broad.
Ready-to-run session blueprints across growth, cost, innovation, people, risk, and customer experience, each with challenge framing, facilitator guidance, and evaluation criteria built in.
A short guided conversation shapes a reusable blueprint for your brief, challenge framing, evaluation criteria, facilitation notes, and AI emphasis, saved to your organisation for every future session.
Unconstrained innovation when the brief is broad. Full CoVision output without a pre-set challenge lens. AI still grounds every idea in a concrete user outcome, so quality never drops.
Each blueprint ships with challenge framing, evaluation criteria, and facilitator guidance, plus AI emphasis tuned to a named strategy methodology. Participants sketch; CoVision applies the framework.

The Acquisition Engine
Challenge framing
The question participants answer before they sketch, set before anyone submits.
How might we unlock new customer acquisition channels or improve conversion economics?
Evaluation criteria
How every idea is scored and structured in the venture brief.
Facilitator brief
Steering notes that keep the room focused on the right kind of ideas.
Participants should propose ideas that directly increase qualified pipeline or conversion at lower customer acquisition cost (CAC). Steer away from brand-only concepts without measurable acquisition impact.
