DO ALL THIS IN A FAST, REPEATABLE, EFFECTIVE WAY?

Enter DESIGN SPRINTS

the most practical framework for applying design thinking at work.

First imagined by Google Ventures, the Design Sprint is a structured problem-solving process that enables teams to quickly overcome big challenges, and validate new value propositions.

In just 4 days, a diverse team of experts moves from problem to a tested prototype, allowing them to learn directly from the customers what works, what doesn’t and why.

DESIGN SPRINT

Understand & Define

Understand the problem, define success and identify the biggest risks / assumptions.

Sketch & Decide

Create unique solutions to the problem and choose the best concepts.

Prototype

Turn concept sketches into a realistic prototype of your product or service.

Test

Test the prototype with target customers to validate the concept.

In February 2020, we organised the Design Sprint Bootcamp, our first training program for Design Sprint Facilitators, in partnership with Design Sprint Academy Berlin.

5 intense and immersive training days, 3 workshops: Design Sprint 3.0, Problem Framing and Advanced Facilitation.

In 2024, we're bringing John Vețan and Design Sprint Academy again to Timișoara. Woohoo! 🥳

MEET YOUR TRAINER

JOHN VETAN

CO-FOUNDER | CONSULTANT | EXPERT

A seasoned expert in innovation and business transformation and the co-founder of Design Sprint Academy, which is dedicated to aiding organisations to make better products and services, foster customer-centricity, and elevate workplace culture and collaboration.

With Design Sprint Academy's help, hundreds of teams and professionals around the world have consistently innovated and built products that satisfy real customer needs, without relying on luck or raw genius.

They have successfully implemented this approach with global brands such as eBay, SAP, Amazon, RGA, Adidas, Redbull, and Roche, just to name a few.

The training covers ...

the six phases of a Design Sprint and the difference between this method and Design Thinking.

Your team will learn when and why to run a Design Sprint, as well as how to plan and organise one.

Define the Project Direction

Understand how to define the sprint challenge, align a team towards a common goal and identify testing hypotheses.

Understand the Customer

How to include user research in a Design Sprint and translate customer needs into areas of opportunity. How to build a Proto-persona, Empathy Map, and Customer Journey Map.

Ideation

How to fuel creativity, find critical parts of a challenge, and generate breakthrough ideas by pushing past obvious solutions.

Evaluation & Decision-Making

Learn a structured and unbiased decision-making process to evaluate solutions fairly.

Build a Prototype & Test with Users

Finally, this module will teach how to build a prototype's skeleton as a team, types of prototyping, and how to build a prototype using AI technology in less than 1 hour. Your teams will also engage in a live user testing session with an actual customer to validate their hypotheses.

AI-powered Prototyping

Introducing the Uizard Autodesigner 1.5 tool - the latest AI design feature from Uizard that enables users to generate multi screen mockups with a simple text prompt. The creators of Autodesigner say that it ''is pretty much like ChatGPT but for UI/UX design!'' 😁

With this tool, your team will be able to create high-fidelity prototypes with ease, regardless of their design skills or level of expertise.

Partnering with Uizard has allowed Design Sprint Academy to revolutionise the design sprint process, making it faster, more efficient, and more accessible than ever before.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

Our 2-day in-person training works best for ...

Design & Product teams

who need a fast, effective way to build innovative products.

Business & Marketing teams

who want to de-risk their projects and test new business ideas quickly and reliably.

Innovation Teams

who need a versatile framework to change the status quo and grow the organisation.

Critical thinking and problem-solving top the list of skills that employers believe will grow in prominence in the next years, according to World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report. These have been consistent since the first report in 2016.

Consequently, investing in critical thinking and creative problem-solving is actually an investment in the future of your organisation.

When innovative leaders (like you 😁) embrace new ways of working / methodologies such as the Design Sprint, they enable their teams to tackle complex challenges, foster alignment, and drive transformative innovation.

It is through these intentional efforts that organisations not only survive but also thrive in the face of uncertainty and rapid change.

  • Align stakeholders for better decisions
