The program enables companies to identify the Collaboration Architects they need (based on experience, industry expertise, language and more) and helps Collaboration Architects promote their skills and experience and get more work– a win-win for everyone!
About
What is an Innovation Games® Certified Collaboration Architect?
An Innovation Games® Certified Collaboration Architect (CCA) is someone who facilitates and/or produces Innovation Games®, Gamestorming and other supported games.
CCAs earn credits that qualify for different certification levels. At the moment, there are three ways to earn credits:
Sign up for an Innovation Games Online account and start facilitating games!
Produce and/or facilitate in-person Innovation Games, Gamestorming and other approved techniques and submit an in-person game credit report.
Take a training class.

What is a Collaboration Architect?
A key strength of Innovation Games® is the power of collaboration. People who play our games work together to develop ideas and solutions that would be impossible by themselves. Companies use our games to collaborate with customers to build better products and services. You do not simply “facilitate” a game — you design an experience that maximizes the collaboration between all participants. We are now referring to all people who facilitate or produce these experiences as Collaboration Architects.
Why is being "Certified" Collaboration Architect important?
We created the Innovation Games® Certified Collaboration Architect (CCA) Program to help companies using Innovation Games find the experienced partners they need to have successful engagements, and help you market and promote yourself to those companies. Certified Collaboration Architects will be able to create public profiles in Innovation Games Online, enabling companies to find the CCA with right experience, background, and skills to deliver the insights they need.
What roles are currenty eligible for "credits" in the Certified Collaboration Architect Program?
A facilitator: someone who facilitates or leads players through the games. There may be more that one game played.
A producer: someone who produces an event where there are multiple facilitators and/or games.

In recognition of your contribution to the Innovation Game Community, we are granting all (Innovation Games Qualified Instructors) IGQIs Orange Belt status for as long as you remain in good standing.
Innovation Games Qualified Instructors may also claim in-person credits for Innovation Games (and other approved techniques) that are taught as part of your IGQI courses. Contact us for more information.
We are granting retroactive experience credits because of your status as IGQI, as well as any training classes completed or online games facilitated after January 24, 2011, so your actual certification level may be higher than Orange.
