The Principled Innovation Card Decks provide an engaging way to explore values, challenge assumptions, and navigate ethical decision-making. Each card presents generative and reflective questions designed to spark dialogue and encourage deeper thinking about complex issues. Whether used individually or in group discussions, the cards help people slow down and consider multiple perspectives before taking action.

With both physical and virtual versions available, these decks are widely used across different contexts—classrooms, teams, and with our community partner organizations. Students, faculty and staff have found the card decks to be a flexible tool for fostering values-driven innovation through self-reflection and collaborative problem-solving.
