Course overview

Transform Your Agile Team's Ideas into Results — Anytime, Anywhere

You can — and should — leverage internal talent to facilitate your own Design Sprints. It's a skill that deserves to be cultivated in-house.


You can — and should — run your own Design Sprints remotely. It's a workshop that can be run from anywhere, anytime.


This course takes a look under the hood at the Remote Design Sprint process, with practical facilitation exercises, reusable templates and material, that are easy to take back and share with your agile team. We'll help you break out of the routine of business-as-usual to transform ideas into results. We even get into Jobs-To-Be-Done, showing you how to extract deeper, more meaningful insights.


This isn't a 101; it's a Masterclass for Design Sprint practitioners! An opportunity to up your game and lead transformative innovation and design sessions from anywhere. If you have one or more Design Sprints under your belt, but you've never run one remotely or without the help of a paid facilitator, we'll boost your facilitation and problem-solving confidence in no time.


We've been there — dealing with the extra expense and approvals for paid facilitators or agencies means your Design Sprint won't be funded. But we believe you should go for it anyway! Pitch a low-cost, 100% remote and sustainable version of the original in-person Design Sprint, led by internal talent like yourself.


By the end of this course, you'll have the skills and the ability to convince sponsors to officially support your efforts, without a costly 4 to 5 day in-person workshop. The Remote Design Sprint is structured into shorter workshops spread out over a few weeks, using async collaboration and some Together-Alone work to your utmost advantage.


And hey, after running one or more Remote Design Sprints with your agile team, you might even position yourself for a well-deserved promotion!

This course is for individual contributors, managers and coaches of cross-functional, agile, product development teams.

01

For Product & Design folks with Design Sprint experience who want to master the art and science of facilitating their own remote workshops.

02

Focus is on solidifying facilitation skills of internal talent rather than hiring external facilitators, agencies or consultants.

03

Especially great for when you want to level-up your Design Sprint game and catalyze opportunities that have been parked for too long.

        Maurice’s guidance not only helped my team get out of BAU-funk and deliver radical revenue-generating innovations in record time, it also gave us the tools to do it ourselves.

        Maurice was the perfect guide during our Design Sprint. His mastery was visible through the clarity with which he explained the process, techniques, and goal of each phase. Even Design Sprint first-timers had no problem contributing effectively from the get-go. Without his guidance, we wouldn't have reached the critical insights we did.
