DECISION SPRINTS
Untangle complex challenges faster than you thought possible.
Resolve complex business challenges in 1-3 days with our structured process and expert facilitation.
We compress months of teamwork into a few focussed days. Your team will address an immediate challenge but the real prize is a new way of working together. It's like learning to ride a bike, it'll always be with you.
Decision Sprints are based on Google's revolutionary Design Sprint process, created in 2010 to accelerate and improve problem-solving.
"We achieved more in a day than we'd normally manage in a month."
We'll customise a 3-stage hybrid group activity that's intense, structured and stimulating. It is built around your specific needs and can be completed very rapidly. And when it's done, we leave.
Our expert facilitation and external insights will help your team gallop towards a realistic plan of action with clarity and confidence. We help them focus their expertise onto a specific issue while subject matter experts cross-pollinate ideas from other sectors.
We don't recycle old answers, you create new ones. It's a fresh and exciting way of getting things done.
We guarantee a realistic fixed price with limited demands on your time. It’s a low-risk opportunity to solve a problem and test a new way of working.
No distractions.
A Decision Sprint is a concentrated burst of effort and creativity for solving problems and making decisions quickly. It is a structured process with pre-defined activities and a clear agenda. Distractions are not allowed, no mobile phones, no checking email, no social media.
Our facilitator helps your team focus their experience and expertise onto a single issue without any distractions. Our subject matter experts cross-pollinate ideas from other sectors.
In days we will help your team unlock creative solutions they can implement immediately.
Fresh insights and a new process will help you see things more clearly. It's not consulting because we don't tell you what to do, we help you build your own bridges.

Address the right problem.
Our unique Decision Sprint methodology accelerates problem-solving, delivering rapid results in days rather than months. But we need to focus on the right issue to make best use of your time. So the first step in any Decision Sprint is to agree a clear definition of the problem, issue or challenge to address.
The 'problem statement' should meet several criteria for the sprint to be effective:
- Focus on the future - not past failures "How might we align HR services with new regulatory requirements in a cost-effective way?"
- Specific not woolly - encourages focus and creativity "How do we improve cross-department collaboration without adding new tools?"
- Emphasise action - things must change "What steps might reduce meeting overload while maintaining team alignment?"
- A proper problem - immediate and important "How might we simplify employee self-service for routine HR tasks?"
- Realistic - We won't waste your valuable time chasing a red herring.
Cross-fertilisation.
A key element of a Decision Sprint is the use of experts to stimulate and inform decision-making.
Experts from within your organisation can be interviewed by your team. And, where relevant, we bring experts from other sectors to introduce new ideas your team may not be familiar with.
These fresh insights can help you see things more clearly. It's not traditional consulting or advisory because we don't tell you what to do, we help you find your own solutions.
A fixed price for a tailored package.
We guarantee a realistic fixed price and sprints can be customised to address almost any issue.
It’s a low-risk opportunity to fix a specific problem and try a new way of working.
Don't let complex problems slow you down. Supercharge your team's problem-solving capabilities and unlock hidden potential with a Decision Sprint.
We’d love to describe what your team could achieve in a few days. Let’s start a conversation about your current challenge—you might be surprised by what’s possible.
