‘Sprints’ - for impactful INNOVATION STRATEGY
Steve Pozel has been at the forefront of facilitating innovation strategy sessions for over a decade - delivering the power of combining design thinking, lean methodology, and agile principles to drive impactful change.
Working across a broad range of sectors including health, the environment, education and social enterprise, Steve has delivered 2-hour introductory sessions for the ‘curious’ and up to 8-week Sprints or Innovation Labs for those teams determined to make significant impact on the transformation of their organisation or sector.
In the context of commercial and educational organisations, social enterprise and not-for-profits, this integrated approach can drive meaningful and sustainable change. Design thinking, a method born from the world of designers, focuses on customer interaction and engagement to materialise creative solutions. Lean methodology, derived from the entrepreneurial world, as it tests business model assumptions and removes risk through experimental methods. And agile production, a product of the tech and engineering worlds, manages velocity for a predictable production pipeline.
Organisations can bring together the elements derived from the best innovative thinking inspired by artists, scientists, and tech engineers to create solutions that have a real and lasting impact.
Our integrated approach draws from three powerful traditions:
Design Thinking: Born from the designer's mindset, this approach emphasises deep customer engagement and creative problem-solving. It helps teams break free from analytical paralysis and imagine bold new possibilities.
Lean Methodology: Emerging from entrepreneurial practice, this framework focuses on rapid experimentation and risk reduction. It ensures we solve the right problems and avoid investing in low-value solutions.
Agile Principles: Refined in engineering environments, these methods bring predictability and momentum to innovation work. They help teams maintain velocity while adapting to changing circumstances.
Together, these methodologies create a holistic approach to transformation—one that delivers both imaginative solutions and practical results.
Together, these methods allow us to create a holistic approach to problem-solving, delivering transformational change, imaginative solutions, inspired teams, and projects that meet the most critical needs or desires of our customers or clients.
