Sprints & Workshops

I help teams build practical foresight, design, and innovation capability through workshops, sprints, and custom playbooks.

That is usually a good place to begin. I work with leadership teams, founders, and public institutions to read change early and turn it into decisions they can act on. Here is how we can work together, what to expect, and how to start.

What it is

Build the capability to think differently and act earlier.

The first two services do the work for you. This one builds your team's ability to do it themselves, which is a very different and more lasting outcome. Short, intensive experiences put futures thinking, design thinking, research, and innovation methods to work on your real challenges.

It runs in three formats. Workshops are focused sessions that build a single capability, from horizon scanning to scenario planning to business-model innovation. Strategic sprints are short, intensive engagements where a team learns the method by solving an actual problem, so it leaves with both the skill and an early answer. 

Playbooks and toolkits are the repeatable frameworks a team keeps and reuses, which is what makes this more than a one-off workshop.

What stays behind is capability, not just a deliverable. Teams develop a shared language for talking about change, opportunity, and uncertainty across functions, apply the methods directly to their own challenges, and move from ambiguity to structured possibilities more quickly. Because they help build the strategy rather than receive it, they own it, and the playbooks let the organisation repeat the process on its own.

01

What is the difference between a workshop and a strategic sprint?

A workshop builds a specific capability through a focused learning session. A strategic sprint applies that capability to a real business challenge. The typical sprint runs for one week, combining structured methods, collaboration, and practical outputs.

02

Can we collaboratively design a workshop or sprint for our team?

Yes. Workshops and sprints can be designed collaboratively around your team, challenge, and existing capabilities. We can work with strategy, innovation, research, or design teams to create an engagement that strengthens how the team thinks and works.

03

What topics can workshops cover?

Workshops can cover strategic foresight, futures thinking, horizon scanning, trend analysis, scenario planning, systems thinking, future consumer thinking, innovation strategy, opportunity mapping, and business-model innovation, among others. Content is adapted to the team's needs and context.

04

What is a playbook, and why does it matter?

A customised playbook is a repeatable framework your team can use after the engagement ends. It might include a foresight process, trend-analysis method, innovation toolkit, opportunity-identification framework, or facilitation guide. The goal is to help organisations build capability rather than depend entirely on external support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Innovation strategy, in plain terms.

Yes. Strategic foresight, futures thinking, innovation, and related methods can be taught through lectures, workshops, intensive modules, or customised academic programmes. Content can be adapted to the institution, discipline, student level, and learning objectives.

Do you teach strategic foresight at colleges and universities?

05

Do you teach strategic foresight at colleges and universities?

06

Yes. Where relevant, teams receive customised toolkits, playbooks, frameworks, templates, and facilitation guides. The objective is to leave the organisation with methods it can continue applying independently.

Typical deliverables

One journey, three ways in.

These three services form a natural progression: look ahead, find opportunity, then build the capability to keep going. Each stands on its own, or they connect end to end.
