Recruiting a team, getting everyone's attention for full 5 days is exhausting. This is why we have converted the Design Sprint structure in an interactive 30-day Online Workshop: Coaches and peers will guide you in crafting your challenge and test your prototype with real users. Do it on your own schedule - alone or as a team!

Make Design Sprints work for you

The Online Design Sprint offers a proven approach used by highly successful startups as well as Fortune 500 companies likewise to solve big problems. It only takes about 40 hours to do a Design Sprint from start to end - plus it’s flexible and you can do it at your own pace and as often as you want within the 30 days workshop period.

It's a chance to learn about your idea much faster before building and launching it. A problem big enough worth solving, prototyping and validating ideas that will be seen by real customers.

Design Sprints are a wonderful process to speed up your learning curve. Put the user at the center, jumpstart creativity and avoid the fallacy to become fixated on a pre-set solution. Make it as real as possible and test it fast.

Design Sprints ARE NOT just doing design quicker. They are a very specific methodology to unpack a problem space and come up with as many divergent concepts as possible, testing them with real customers, internal stakeholders & SMEs to know what to focus on.

It’s a step-by-step process for beginning to adopt the mindset of a true and successful innovator (even if you already have your product or service running). With ​real progress, user validation, online feedback and peer accountability!
​
You will not only learn but fully apply the original Design Sprint techniques to solve your challenges or testing your idea from day one. And to do it in a way that’s motivating, and fun.

The best part is: There isn't much theory - you apply it to your own challenge or project! Going through the process more than once will lead to success for outcomes such as user adaption and people requesting and even paying for your new solution.

This workshop is a structured place to do a Design Sprint solo or in a smaller team and in your own pace within the valuable time you have. If that sounds like the sort of guidance you need, please read on and become a part!

Since we want to move fast, we've optimized a process that gets us predictably good results in five days or less. We call it a Design Sprint, and it's great for getting unstuck or accelerating projects that are already in motion.

Who is this workshop for?

Online Design Sprints are best suited as a method when you have a complex challenge and the solution is unknown. They are for anyone with a big opportunity, problem or idea that needs answers today. In the workshop, we will define the exact challenge together if needed.

They are for you if you need a way to jump in full speed and make a start, accelerate current progress or reframe a project that’s stuck - an internal or external one.

They offer a way to quickly assemble diverse talent and knowledge to tackle complicated business challenges. You take this divergent approach to explore what might be possible or needed, learn about the problem as much as the solution.

You might have a complex challenge with lots of variables and influencing factors or know that the solution will require diverse input and thinking. All of these are scenarios where The Online Design Sprint can be hugely valuable. If the challenge is multi-faceted, multiple Sprints can be bundled together focussing on one question per Sprint.
Picture
When run correctly, Online Design Sprints are amazing for de-risking business cases ensuring concepts are desirable to customers, technically feasible and viable for the business. They help you kill non-valuable ideas early to reduce waste and poor investment decisions. An Online Design Sprint will dramatically reduce the time taken to qualify opportunities and find answers to tough problems.

Once again when “run correctly”, sprints make the most out of people’s limited time and probably, most critically, identify the most important place to focus effort and align project teams (if you don't sprint on your own).

And at the Online Design Sprint, we make sure, you will run it correctly. 
The process here is used by (now famous) Slack, Google, Uber, Airbnb, Medium, LEGO, Bosch, Dr. Oetker, Dropbox, McKinsey, IDEO, Kärcher, the New York Times, Social Startups and many more!
​
You can do this workshop entirely on your own (single) or in a small team. ​Since feedback and ideas will be given by other participants and our coaches, running a Design Sprint alone is now possible! 

​
THE ONLINE DESIGN SPRINT might not be for you, but if it is, we hope you’ll join us!

  • Additional preparation and wrap-up phase, so that you don't need to do anything beforehand
  • 24/7 mobile & desktop access to the discussion board for personal feedback available for the full length of the workshop

Get your ideas approved by real users

There are three ways to create or improve a product, service or feature:
  • The first way is to ideate, build and launch one expensive solution that is well thought-out but at high risk and takes 150+ days. You only learn afterwards, if you build the right thing.

  • The second way is to buy the Sprint book, then to lock yourself and five others in a room, ideating and learning if your solution works for five full days. This time you do it smarter than in the first way, without building and launching a full-blown product. Maybe you are guided by an external sprint facilitator because between the exercises you don't really have time to read the book.

  • The third way is to gain the same results online, but now without time constraints and huge investment of resources! The expertise that you will gain will stick with you and grant you full control over the process.

This online workshop is about the third way! It begins with this big challenge and builds out multiple models for creating significant value for your audience. 

Through the steps, prompts and discussions, you'll engage with other participants who are on a similar journey as you. If you do the work, if you contribute, you'll get back more than you put in. That's why we have a unique money-back guarantee.

  • Create more value for any stakeholder or user
  • Run a Design Sprint (or multiple ones) online
  • Set the stage, 
  • Set short & long-term sprint goals
