TRAINING & COACHING

DESIGN SPRINTS, FACILITATION SKILLS & DEEP DIVES

The first step to mastering a new methodological approach is choosing the right training for your knowledge and skill level. An amazing training with lots of practical input and ready-to-implement tools will motivate you and set you up for success.

But successful execution frequently needs practice. Leaving the training energized to tackle your own Design Sprint is an excellent starting point. Being able to focus on your specific challenges with the assistance and support of an experienced mentor
is what will accelerate your progress from a good Sprint facilitator to a great one.

Training and coaching are not about letting someone run a Design Sprint for you. They are about getting support and guidance to ensure your Design Sprint success!

ACTIVE AND INTERACTIVE

Our trainings are all about you. We have the right balance action-oriented, hands-on exercises and essential theoretical know-how with customized feedback sessions. Plus we don‘t believe in PowerPoint. We like to get our hands dirty. Literally.

Strategy

FOCUSED AND SPECIFIC

In our coaching sessions we pick up where the training ended and ensure a constant build up of skills and experiences. We deal with your individual Design Sprint situation hands-on in one-on-one or group sessions.

PRACTICAL AND ON POINT

Both training and coaching provide advice on the preparation, guidance through the execution and recommendations on the evaluation of your Design Sprint.

Broader perspective

ENGAGING AND INVOLVED

On request we “participate” in your Design Sprint to observe and evaluate the results with you first-hand, zeroing in on both the methodological application and the soft skill facilitation.
