Imagination Sprints™

For kickstarts and resets on your journey to the next level.

Imagination Sprints™ are bursts of intensive creative work in conceptual design to help you discover actionable insights with a clearer vision. Developing a strategic imagination within your practice will disrupt the typical patterns which prevent most teams from achieving extraordinary results:

  • Limitless, rapid ideation

  • Bold concepts and prototypes

  • Effective communications and content

  • New audiences and communities

  • Asymmetrical rewards over risk

Who is this for and why?

Our Imagination Sprints™ have been designed to inform think tanks, and research institutes, but they can be tailored to work for any group that needs fresh perspective and disruptive thinking to accelerate their discovery without over-stressing their resources:

  • Refine your research or product/service idea.

  • Visualize concepts before full-scale development.

  • Build powerful, scalable narratives to drive communications.

  • Create and share content to grow internal/external support.

Traditional design and conceptualization processes can be lengthy and costly. Our sprints compress this timeline, focusing on high-value activities to derive meaningful outcomes quickly. Similar to design and product sprints, Imagination Sprints™ are 5-step, accelerated discovery exercises for developing your vision and mapping growth; to make that great idea come true.

  • Cost-Effective. Designed specifically for organizations with tight budgets or want to test the process first.

  • Time-Saving. Rapid insights, designs, and narratives in just 5 days. And actionable ideas in just 24 hours!

  • Tailored to Needs. Every sprint is adaptable for a variety of business challenges and sectors. No two sprints are identical.

  • Expert Guidance. Work closely with advanced, experienced, and highly creative designers and storytellers.

Got questions?

  • Imagination Sprints™ seamlessly complements existing strategies by offering a fresh perspective and rapid ideation. Think of it as a turbo-boost for your innovation process, ensuring you stay ahead in the market with fresh concepts and compelling narratives.

  • Beyond the tangible mockups, narratives, and strategic roadmap, the real ROI lies in the acceleration of your ideation process, the reduction of costly missteps, and the enhancement of your brand's story. The insights and perspectives gained can lead to faster market validation and a stronger brand presence. We aim for 10x, not 10%.

  • Both! Individuals are typically executives (CEOs, COOs, CIOs, etc.), directors, program managers, or principal investigators. Teams participating in our calls are limited to 3 people, but only one point of contact throughout the sprint. You can have as many team members as you want on your own sprint team, but we recommend keeping it to a manageable number.

  • Our sprints are managed by seasoned teams of researchers, designers, and storytellers, each with both generalist and specific skills in their respective fields. Their combined expertise ensures a holistic approach, balancing functionality, perspective, and aesthetics.

    We use the same artificial intelligence research tools that the industry’s advanced researchers use to expedite results with accuracy, but our teams validate and verify the research to support your needs. Humans are strategic. AI is just tactical.

  • Absolutely not. While we use powerful Large Language Model (LLM) research tools and generative AI imagery, we have dedicated human analysts reviewing and citing sources and references. We also use AI-generated images responsibly, free of copyright infringement, and apply our own original artistry to provide concepts that match your ideas and meet your needs.

  • Our Day 01 Pre-sprint Consultation is crucial. This is where the work begins in understanding your brand's ethos and values. Every step of the sprint is then aligned to resonate with and amplify your brand's unique voice, ensuring outcomes that are both innovative and authentic.

    And if you don’t want to continue, maybe you have different or new requirements, you can continue on your own using the basic analysis, report, and recommendations we’ve provided.

  • Absolutely! We believe in the longevity of our solutions. Post-sprint, typically after 30 days, we offer a review session to discuss outcomes and potential next steps. Additionally, we provide options for recurring follow-up sessions, ensuring you're fully equipped to capitalize on your sprint's results.
