Get to product solutions faster with a design sprint

I run Design Sprints that enable teams to define and solve product and proposition challenges in a matter of days, not months.

I can help get your team unstuck

The Design Sprint is an incredibly powerful tool that can help cut through months of debate, as well as radically reduce time spent in traditional (and expensive) design discovery processes. The activity-based framework brings team members together to define and solve complex issues through a highly structured set of activities over 5 days.

What’s involved in a Design Sprint?

 
 

Monday

Understand the problem and pick a key area to focus the sprint around.

Tuesday

With the challenge defined, you’ll sketch competing solutions to the challenge.

Wednesday

Critique solutions, pick the best idea and create a storyboard of the solution in action.

Thursday

Turn your storyboard into a basic, but working prototype to be tested with customers.

Friday

Understand how the solution works by testing the prototype with real customers.

 

When should you run a Design Sprint?

 
 

You’re in uncharted water

If you’re toying with a product idea internally and you’re unsure whether it’s something that might work or have traction in the market, a Design Sprint can help you figure out quickly, cheaply and efficiently whether that will meet user needs.

You’re trying to gain buy-in

Product and Service Design is incredibly expensive. When it comes to gaining buy-in, you need to prove your product idea has legs and is worth investment. A Design Sprint will help you build a clear business case for a larger opportunity or project.

You want to fix a product

Organisations of all sizes can get caught in endless conversations around how best to improve a product or fix an issue. A Design Sprint provides a highly focused space in which a specific problem can be solved, the more specific the better.
