Red Hat Open Innovation Labs

Last Updated: 14 November 2025

Client: Red Hat Open Innovation Labs – an immersive program that brings engineering teams together with open-source experts to accelerate innovation, modernise workflows, and build better software through hands-on collaboration.

What was ordered? 500 branded sticky note pads featuring the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs logo.

Purpose? To support rapid prototyping, brainstorming sessions, and agile workshops during residencies.

How were the sticky notes used?

Their tean ordered 500 sticky note pads to use throughout their intensive residency programs. These residencies bring together client teams and Red Hat engineers to co-create solutions using open-source tools and modern development practices.

The sticky notes became a core part of daily collaboration — used for mapping ideas, outlining user journeys, tagging priorities, and capturing rapid iterations during design sprints. Walls and whiteboards across the labs were filled with notes as teams worked through problems and tested new approaches.

Each pad carried the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs branding, giving sessions a consistent, polished look while reinforcing the energy and structure behind the residency experience.

Participants appreciated having dedicated, high-quality tools on hand during workshops. The sticky notes helped make sessions clearer, more interactive, and easier to revisit as projects progressed.

For Red Hat, this simple order supported the heart of their program: open collaboration, clear communication, and fast, meaningful innovation driven by the people in the room.
