  • Dec 2016 - Jun 2020

  The Design Sprint is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. It is by far, the most powerful Business Design Tool I have come across in my career. Please contact me [+31 6 81 862 632] and find out what the Design Sprint can do for your business acceleration! Developed at Google Ventures, it’s a “greatest hits” of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more—packaged into a battle-tested process that any team can use. Working together in a sprint at Connext Lab (Rotterdam, Heerlen, Utrecht), you can shortcut the endless-debate cycle and compress months of time into a single week. Instead of waiting to launch a minimal product to understand if an idea is any good, you’ll get clear data from a realistic prototype. The sprint gives you a superpower: You can fast-forward into the future to see your finished product and customer reactions, before making any expensive commitments. Show less
