⚡️We help you move your business forward, innovate, and achieve tangible results in 5 days. It’s a promise!
We compress months of work into a few days of effective, pleasant, and creative collaboration. We align your teams and deliver results quickly, even on complex issues.
We are pioneers in Europe of Google Ventures Design Sprint, a methodology developed by Jake Knapp at GV. Design Sprint is a “greatest hit” of design thinking and user-centered design (UX Design).
Design Sprints are currently being used at some of the world’s leading companies such as Google, Uber, Medium, Slack, Facebook, The New York Times, Twitter, Dropbox, and Airbnb.
Our clients come from Switzerland, France, and the whole world. Each of them challenge and rethink the products or services of various industries including finance, insurance, healthcare, health tech, energy, government, and public administration.
The Design Sprint Process
The idea is, in fact, very simple. A small team clears its calendar for a week and dedicates itself to following the process, rapidly progressing from challenges to tested solutions.
Your team is actively involved in designing the concept for the first three days of the Sprint.
On day 4, our top-notch designers, along with some members of your team, will create a realistic prototype.
Real customers or stakeholders will then test that very prototype on day 5. We will collect and analyze the user feedback together to assess the potential of your concept. After the Sprint, we will help you take the next steps to move the project forward.

What is the best team for a Design Sprint?
The key to the success of a Design Sprint is to bring together a small multidisciplinary team of 5 to 7 people. When we carry out the Design Sprint, we ask for active participation during the first three days of the workshop. We from Design Sprint Ltd. take care of the prototyping and user testing on days 4 and 5. All team members are then reconvened to discover the results of the Sprint either live on day 5, or later while watching the replays.
