Future Today, Rapid Sprints

How do we get to the future we want to create, today?

Businesses need to act swiftly, efficiently, and confidently to navigate today’s increasing uncertainty, while also realizing their visions of the future.
Our Future Today, Rapid Sprint approach allows you to answers critical business questions, ideate, and validate opportunities in just a matter of days.
Originally developed by Google Ventures, we’ve updated their open source Design Sprint process to provide a rapid prototyping approach. This approach can inform the creation of innovative products and services, reimagined brand and marketing campaigns, and new business models and strategies. You can  join leading companies like Google, Slack, McKinsey & Company, Adidas, and others who are quickly adapting to new ways of innovating, while helping you get to the future you want to create, today.  **Updated to easily accommodate virtual teams and remote working sessions.**
"Getting started is more important than being 100% right."

How It Works

Our Rapid Sprints consist of four key stages:
Our Rapid Sprints consist of four key stages that your stakeholder and team develops:
1. Defining Future Visions and Goals
2. Concepting
3. Storytelling & Prototyping
4. User Testing

Approach

Flexible Schedule: Deployed in six days (minimum), ten days (maximum), Rapid Sprints can be adjusted to accommodate your team’s schedule. Each day requires anywhere from 2-6 hours of working time, in guided group and individual sessions.

Daily activities mapped out in Miro, a virtual collaborative whiteboard
Fast & Focused: A lot is accomplished in a short time as your core team engages with decision-makers and experts to identify and answer key questions critical to success. Teams then work through prioritized and rapid human-centered design, prototyping, and testing using collaboration tools.
No Training Required: Rapid Sprints helps your team work through ideas more quickly and efficiently, without any formal training in design or development required! You team just needs to show up, have fun, and our expert facilitators will guide them through the process.
