1. Innovation, Sustainability, Strategy
Our battlefields are innovation, sustainability and strategy (often combined). Our weapon of attack is Design Sprint. We are business accelerators.
We help companies, organizations and start-ups tackle innovation and marketing challenges, create a road map to sustainability, growth & resilience. Prioritize the best opportunities, build and test new business models, energize teams.
We believe in business for good. We love to help you become successful in driving impact. ​
​Reducing your environmental footprint is not a nice-to-have anymore, it has become both an imperative and a huge business opportunity.
​
Acting responsibly does not have to limit growth. It often accelerates it. So Sprint for good!
2. 'Design Sprint'-based workshops
Design Sprint not only helps solving big problems, it also engages teams and drives mutual ownership.
​
We make use of exercises from Design Sprint for business - and marketing workshops, e.g. team alignment or problem solving workshops.
Short workshops lasting one or two day parts, depending, are becoming more and more populair in the corporate world.
What we do
Mission & purpose
The 4th industrial revolution
​
-
Our world is changing. Fast. (you may have noticed! 😉) Several destabilizing factors play a role, e.g. Climate change, A.I. (e.g. ChatGPT), war in Europe, crypto's, etc.
​
-
This revolution is working towards a paradigm shift, how we see ourselves, a redefinition of our world and everything that is important in it.​
​
A paradigm shift
​
-
Our perceptions of the relationship with and the fragility of nature are changing. We are awakening, demographic by demographic.
​​
-
Our health: Co2 emissions by industries like energy, food, housing, travel, waste, etc.
-
Our planet's health: climate change endangering the lives of millions.
​
​
-
Relationships between companies and consumers is changing significantly. Millennials and Generation Z have different social values and lifestyles that translate to new ideas on sustainable products/services.
​​
-
Businesses start to hold their supply chain accountable. The EU holds companies accountable with the new CSRD, a sustainability reporting directive.
-
The UN Global Sustainable Development Goals are there to achieve a better and more sustainable future. The business world and public organizations play a crucial role in attaining those goals, but not using the same way-of-workings.
"Traditional approaches to business will collapse, and companies will have to develop innovative solutions.
That will happen only when executives recognize a simple truth: Sustainability = Innovation.
There’s no alternative to sustainable development."
​
(C.K. Prahalad, and M.R. Rangaswami - HBR, sept. 2009)
The SprintWize mission
'Business for good' is the way forward. The big corporates are fully embarking on the 'sustainability train' and are in a state of transformation.
​
We belief that business plays an enormously important role in fueling the tide of change. 'Sustainability' is already becoming the new competitive edge. Without it companies loose relevance, credibility and ... trust.
​
Our mission is to help accelerate new and innovative solutions for building and future proof a more sustainable economy and - living. The more clients SprintWize can help, the closer our mission comes to succeeding.
​
"The most exciting application of human-centered design is when it is aimed at re-imagining the complex systems of our societies." (IDEO, 2024).
Sprinting for Good
On the one hand:
- innovation will be key,
- resilience will also be a main decisive factor.
On the other hand:
- innovation is known for low succes rates (eg. 80%-85%
failure rate in the food industry),
- and taking a long time. Time we do not have (anymore).
​
Be part of an elite team of talented people using Design Thinking to create businesses and experiences that make the world a better place. ​
We'd love to help you solve innovation and sustainability problems, faster and more successful with Design Sprint and/or our business workshops. ​This is our goal.
We're impact-first (profit-second).
""As designers, innovators and entrepreneurs, we have a unique opportunity, but also an immense responsibility – to design products that favor a better future, that push our society in the right direction, that imagine and advance the well-being of an entire planet."
