DESIGN THINKING WORKSHOP 5-day remote design sprint 26.-30.7.2021. (online)

The Design Sprint is a 5-day process designed to help teams solve big challenges, validate new ideas and improve existing products/services very quickly and efficiently. The original Design Sprint was born at Google Ventures with the purpose of helping their teams innovate faster and better. Since working remotely, we have adjusted some of the elements.

The Sprint consists of a set of very specific exercises that help teams get alignment around a challenge and fosters a collaborative and creative problem-solving setup. The whole idea of the Sprint is to help us be more creative, propose various ideas and decide on a solution we want to test with real users, in just a few days.

What is in scope?

  • Gathering insights from potential users
  • Research of trends and best practices in area of collaboration platforms
  • Defining needs and standards for new interactive web collaboration platform
  • Teamwork in proposing ideas and solutions aligned with user needs and industry trends
