Build clarity and alignment with a Strategy Sprint
I facilitate Strategy Sprints that enable teams to define and align on key strategic challenges, co-develop solutions and test their validity in a matter of days, not months.
A fun, collaborative way to build alignment
Collaborative approaches to problem-solving can be incredibly effective for helping orient teams around a common goal, explore and agree key challenges and co-design solutions. I have years of experience facilitating a range of activity-based Strategy workshops that help teams to define and solve design and strategy issues holding them back.
What’s involved in a typical Strategy Sprint?
Monday
Understand the problem and pick a key area to focus the sprint around.
Tuesday
With the challenge defined, we’ll ideate potential strategic choices to the solving the challenge.
Wednesday
We’ll explore and pick the best strategic possibility and explore key dependencies for it to work in practice.
Thursday
Turn our strategic possibility into a testable prototype we can share with customers and stakeholders.
Friday
Understand how the solution works by testing the prototype with our most critical stakeholders customers.
When should you consider a Strategy Sprint?
You’re in uncharted water
If you’re toying with a strategy or product idea internally and you’re unsure whether it’s something that might work or have traction in the market, a Strategy Sprint can help you figure out quickly, cheaply and efficiently whether that will meet user needs.
You’re trying to gain buy-in
When it comes to gaining buy-in, you need to prove your product idea has legs and is worth investment. A Strategy Sprint can help you build a clear business case for a larger opportunity or project.
You’re stuck in a loop
Organisations of all sizes can get caught in endless conversations around how best to improve a product or fix an issue. A Strategy Sprint provides a highly focused space in which a specific problem can be solved, the more specific the better.
