⚡️Every company faces complicated times, big problems or risky situations. Teams need to take important decisions and make alignment fast.
As facilitation specialists, we are here to support you in an unbiased and structured manner.Using an external Facilitator-Consultant allows you to avoid potentially explosive situations and smoothly manage difficult personalities and emotions within a group.
We are pioneers in Europe of Design Sprint, a methodology developed by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures. Design Sprint is a “greatest hit” of design thinking and user-centered design (UX Design).
Design Sprint is currently used internally at Google and at some of the world’s leading companies such as Uber, Medium, Slack, Facebook, The New York Times, Twitter, Dropbox, Airbnb.
Our clients in Switzerland, France, and around the world come from a variety of industries challenging their services, digital and physical products: banks, insurance companies, healthcare institutions, and health tech start-ups, energy, government, and public authorities.
A shorter design sprint?
No! A complete sprint design in 5 days always ends with the prototyping and testing of the solution. Strategic Alignment Workshop lasts two day. The activities are very close to the ones of the classical Design Sprint, but in more condensed way. The challenge of this workshop needs to be very precise.
The purpose of this workshop is to align the team about their goals, values and purposes.
