Step-by-step process for solving big problems and testing new ideas in just 4 days. Design Sprint 2.0 is simply the most up-to-date, semi-official version of the Sprint. One of the biggest differences between the original Design Sprint and the Design Sprint 2.0 is that 2.0 is optimized to work not just in startups, but also in large organizations that don’t necessarily have time to commit an entire week to the full process. * It takes four days instead of five. * You only need the full Sprint team for two days instead of five

Ever had struggles to generate and select options within a short time frame? The Options Map is a tool to facilitate idea and option generation for nearly any topic. It uses brainwriting to generate ideas, and then prioritization combined with the Walt Disney method to narrow down and challenge the best ideas. This session is particularly useful when you want to cut out tedious discussions about pros and cons of an idea and still add a lot of information about it, finding ways on how to improve on it and make it feasible. Besides using it as a stand-alone short session when needed, you may also incorporate Option Mapping in longer workshops where idea generation and idea assessment is important.
