Break through your most complex challenges
—in 60 days
The Ideas-to-Action Innovation Sprint is an expert-facilitated approach for mobilizing cross-functional teams to diagnose root causes, design practical solutions, and deliver measurable results—in 60 days, not six months.
Not a marathon change program
—a 60-day results sprint
In place of long analysis cycles, slow handoffs, and uneven execution, the Ideas-to-Action Innovation Sprint uses a breakthrough workshop followed by focused action teams to design and implement Lean and Agile-inspired solutions for complex, underperforming processes, programs, and systems.
- Rapidly diagnose the real problem
Get beyond symptoms and identify the few root causes that matter most.
- Build early, cross-stakeholder alignment
Create shared clarity on the big changes needed and a commitment to the path forward—before execution begins.
- Collaboratively design practical, high-impact solutions
Generate and prioritize, actionable improvements building on Lean and Agile best practices that teams can implement quickly and sustain.
- Activate ownership and remove barriers fast
Assign action champions, tighten follow-through, and clear obstacles while momentum is high.
- Deliver measurable improvements in 60 days
Move from “talking about change” to visible gains—with defined targets and progress reviews.
Why complex change efforts get stuck
Traditional approaches to complex change often stall because teams get mired in methods and tools. Too much time goes into planning and preparing—and not enough into designing, testing, learning, and moving. The result: missed deadlines, wasted resources, frustrated employees, and projects that stretch on for months and years.
How the Innovation Sprint
cuts through to results
The Ideas-to-Action Innovation Sprint uses a focused, facilitated 60-day approach to tackle complex challenges with speed and discipline. Instead of a long, open-ended change program, teams run structured cycles of action and learning—clarifying the real problem, building buy-in, prioritizing practical solutions, and accelerating implementation with clear owners and visible measures of success.
"In less than 60 days, we went from operating with a process no one was happy about and had little agreement on how to fix it, to a totally transformed way of operating that everyone's excited about."
— R&D Director, global pharmaceutical company
