Methods: Social Innovation - SILK Method Deck

Social Innovation Lab Kent (SILK) aims to provide a creative environment for people to work together.  They draw upon best practice from business, design and social science to establish a way of working that places citizens at the very centre of everything they do.

They have put together an awesome deck of methods that cover five categories. Each category includes methods that are likely to be useful as guides, prompts or references at different stages of a project: Plan, Communicate, Insight, Workshop and Design.

You can download the deck here:

One of my favs are the Conversation Cards, I recently developed a set to use as part of a co-creation session to stimulate conversation and idea generation. NB finding the right images can be rather time consuming ... To get a diverse mix of contemporary images I suggest a combination of stock files, flickr and magazine tears.
