My initial concern was there was no way we could get everyone away from their work for several days. Just the idea of pulling key people away seemed like it could paralyze our operations. But after seeing your case study, I started to see how Design Sprint could align our teams and decided it was worth the try. In just 3 hours, we did what we'd been working on for the past 5 years. It's hard to believe, but the focused approach made all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of company or sector can benefit from a Design Sprint?

We’ve facilitated Sprints in every size of company, from small start-ups right up to large multinationals, and in a huge variety of sectors from FinTech to Automotive to E-commerce and many more. We’ll always give you our honest opinion if there’s a better option for your particular challenge – book a call for a free no-sales assessment.

We’re still at an early stage in our project, so how do I know if we’re ready for a Design Sprint?

The best way to assess this is by booking an intro call with our CEO Simon. Depending on your situation, he may suggest a Product Strategy Sprint or a Design Sprint, or direct you to another option if our services don’t fit. Honest human-to-human advice, always.

Our project is very complex. How do I know if this will work for our company?

Design Sprint is a structure that has been successful for businesses of all types and sizes all over the world. But before you commit we’ll always have a free, no obligation chat, so we can confirm if it’s right for your situation. It’s not in our interests to sell you something that isn’t going to work.

How can you do sufficient user testing so quickly?

Studies show that the optimum number of users to test is 5. We’ve streamlined a swift search and select process for perfect-fit users, using online advertising, small rewards and a precise qualification process to find the perfect 5.

Who is on your team?

We always bring in the very best experts to fit your unique challenge, covering areas such as UX, design and development, led by a skilled facilitator with years of innovation experience.

How many team members from our company can participate?
