Training
Design Sprint Facilitator
Program
Every organization needs someone who can guide teams from scattered ideas to tested prototypes in five focused days. Someone who gets your culture, knows your challenges, and can keep any group moving when they hit roadblocks. In 3 months, you'll go from "I've read the book" to confidently facilitating your own Design Sprints.
What is it?
Here's what we learned from 200+ Design Sprints: reading the methodology is maybe 20% of what you need. The other 80% is handling team dynamics, reading energy levels, and knowing when to stick to the process versus when to adapt.
Facilitating Design Sprints isn't about perfect sticky note arrangements, it's about reading the room when energy drops, navigating personality clashes during decision time, and keeping teams focused when they'd rather debate font choices. This program gets you doing, not just learning. Some theory, no long lectures a lot of hands-on practice with people who've been there.
