About this Event

You will learn all the ins and outs of running successful Design Sprints by working in a team setup through B2B and B2C simulations based on real business case studies.

Through the process of Problem Framing, Design Sprint 3.0 and Design Sprint Facilitation training you will gain the right set of tools and skills to find actionable solutions and drive impactful outcomes.




What is a Design Sprint?

A design sprint is a method used for solving problems through ideation, prototyping, and testing ideas with specifically targeted users.

It was developed at Google, to align teams under a shared vision with clearly defined goals and deliverables. After much success, design sprints are now being adopted by companies, big or small, and from all over the world and within all different industries – from insurance and banking to entertainment.



How it works
  • With a small, cross-functional team and a clear schedule for the week, you’ll progress from a problem to a tested solution in only 4 days.
  • On Monday, the team creates a map of the problem and defines the direction of the sprint.
  • On Tuesday, each individual sketches solutions and decide which sketches are the strongest.
  • On Thursday, the entire team builds a realistic prototype by working together and playing different roles.
  • And finally, on Friday, the team tests the prototype with five target customers and looks for reactions, comments, questions, moments of truth.


We’ve gained expertise in service, product, and vision sprints.

We found design sprints through our own example of a successful failure. Our Design Sprint journey started in late 2015 before the Google Ventures book ‘Sprint’ was published. Since then we’ve run dozens of design sprints for a variety of companies, from Fortune 500 companies to startups. This includes training Google in San Francisco as well as partnering with InVision to teach Design Sprints as part of their Design Better Workshops series, alongside the likes of Jake Knapp and Richard Banfield. And, each time, we noticed the companies were looking for different solutions and outcomes from a design sprint. But no matter the differences in expectations, the overall outcome remains the same – satisfaction from their actionable insights.


Our extensive experience has enabled us to design an original end-to-end Design Sprint training that will take you from zero to an expert Design Sprint Facilitator in just five days. This training program is:

  • A great fit for corporates, enterprise organizations, and startups
  • Adaptable to any service, product, or business problem
  • Helps frame and solve complex business problems
  • Optimal use of resources: time, people, and effort
  • Considers the entire context, both business need, and customer problem
  • That's why Innovators, Disruptors, Strategists, Designers, and Product Creators are joining our events.

This is how our Alumni describe the training program:
