Tools & Methods
Tools and methods are an essential part in Business Design. We distinguish between tools and methods for different phases of the end-to-end innovation process. They inspire, they guide, they support research and to create and implement ideas. Please find an overview of our tools in this article.

We cover a lot of the following tools - and especially how to put them into practice successfully - in our Certificate Program (DE). Visit our Academy and become a certified Business Design Expert.
For many tasks across the end-to-end innovation process, Business Design offers tools and methods to make work easier. They help you take on new perspectives, build a shared understanding within your project team, or simply work faster and more precisely. Business Design's guiding principles shaped every one of these tools and methods.
All tools and methods are mapped to the phases of the end-to-end innovation process, and you can download them from this page for your own use. This is our commitment: we don't hide methodical knowledge — we make it accessible to anyone who wants to work innovatively. Using the tools and methods costs nothing. However, you may not modify the files or distribute them under your own name. Good luck!
