Design sprint
Solve big problems in just 5 days during a Design Sprint
Workshop description
A design sprint condenses endless debates and discussions to help a team go from strategy, ideas and prototype to testing with real customers in just five days.
The sprint is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. Developed at Google Ventures, it’s a “greatest hits” of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more—packaged into a battle-tested process that any team can use.
Done right, and a design sprint can deliver benefits that far outlast those energetic five days. They help businesses question established ways of working, feel comfortable with uncertainty, see the benefits of cross-discipline collaboration and put aside organisational structure to deliver great customer experiences.
After the workshop
- A long term goal
- Key questions needing to be answered to meet the goal
- Tonnes of ideas to solve the problem
- A high-fidelity prototype
- Prototype validated with your customers
After the sprint, you know what to do next.
Quote from previous student
“Alan is a brilliant person who does brilliant work. He’s equally passionate about UX and working relationships, which has resulted in him being a pleasure to work, a customised UX design sprint that delivered and a toolkit we can use time and time again. I look forward to working with him again in the future!”
