Over the past few days, many of you reached out after my “What is AI Problem Framing?” newsletter with the same question: “… but how does the workshop actually work in practice?” So I wrote a detailed guide — a step-by-step breakdown of the method we use to help cross-functional teams move from vague AI pressure to clear, fundable opportunities. https://www.designsprint.academy/blog/ai-problem-framing-101-what-it-is-why-it-matters-and-how-to-use-it-in-your-organization Hope you'll find it useful :) Also, attached is s short preview for those new to our method.

We just published a new article about a tool we’ve been using more and more at Design Sprint Academy — especially before running a sprint. It’s called the 4U Workshop. Its result: the MVO — Minimum Viable Opportunity. In just 2 hours, it helps senior stakeholders compare and score real challenges using four lenses: 🔸 Unworkable 🔸 Unavoidable 🔸 Urgent 🔸 Underserved The outcome is focus. A shared decision on what’s most worth solving next — before the team jumps into solutions. If you’re facilitating sprints or guiding strategy, this is one of the fastest ways to reduce risk and align fast. 📩 Read the article: https://www.designsprint.academy/blog/what-is-the-mvo-minimum-viable-opportunity 📦 Or get the full 4U Workshop Kit + AI co-pilot to run this tomorrow.

Hi all, I know how tricky it can be to run workshops—especially when you don’t have all the resources handy. If you haven’t had a chance to grab Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky’s book, Click, or if you’re planning to facilitate a Foundation Sprint soon and want to get ahead, I’ve got some exciting news: At Design Sprint Academy, we’ve just launched a step-by-step video series on YouTube, guiding you through the entire Foundation Sprint method! You can watch it here 👉 Foundation Sprint - All Exercises I’m still working to complete the entire series (keep an eye out—hold me accountable!).

Big shoutout to @Dana Vetan and @John Vetan for the webinar earlier. I had to leave before the end, but it was great - your generosity is appreciated

Once the Foundation Sprint launched, we had many questions about how it differed from the methods we already used, like Problem Framing and Design Sprints. So, I wrote a detailed article on this topic: 👉 Read article
