Design Sprint Academy GmbH & Co. KG

The 1-day live online class will help you pinpoint a problem's root cause, cut complexity at its core and make better business decisions.

<p>Problem Framing solves one of the most common (and expensive) business situations: Fighting symptoms rather than the root cause of a major problem.</p><p>Failure to define a root problem at the beginning leads to expensive solutions with no real or lasting results.</p><p>With Problem Framing, you and your team can pinpoint the root cause early, saving time, money, and needless frustration.</p><p>If you search for "failed products" on the internet, you'll find examples of organizations that designed innovative solutions to problems no one has. Meaningful innovation starts with solving the real problems of real people.</p>

<h3>This workshop is for you if:</h3><ul><li>The decision-making process in your organization doesn't consider customer/user needs.</li><li>Your company is only doing more of the same thing, repeating previous successes without exploring new opportunities or taking risks.</li><li>You want to introduce new ways of working, but you struggle to get stakeholders buy-in</li></ul>

<h3>About the Problem Framing Training</h3><p>We developed the Problem Framing approach five years ago as a way to help creative teams focus their solutions on a problem worth solving and aligned with the organizational goals.</p><p>We’ve helped organizations such as Which? London, Turner Construction Company, and RGAx embed this approach into their decision-making and strategic planning process. </p><p>We officially launched this training program in 2018 at Google in San Francisco, training their Sprint Master Academy on how to find problems worth solving and setting the stage for successful design sprints. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl6u2FKotIU" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here</a>'s what problem-solvers from companies like Google, Adobe, SalesForce, PayPal, Boeing, Audible, and Nike had to say about it.</p>

<p>Since then, we trained innovators, decision-makers, product managers, UX designers, and Design Sprint Facilitators on how to: </p><ul><li>Make sense of the user's needs, perceptions, and expectations</li><li>Frame problems into actionable design challenges</li><li>Align teams toward common goals</li><li>Gain the confidence of tackling a problem worth solving in a Design Sprint</li></ul>
