Dear Readers,
Our world is changing at a breathtaking pace. Adding tech that adds value to your business, asking hard questions about the future or setting priorities in your life must be at the top of the scale.
Creating and managing teams that are driven by proactivity, curiosity and using agile processes that drive innovation with human-centered Design Thinking or that solve problems quickly like with Design Sprint 2.0 are validated approaches.
In my experience here are 3 big reasons why:
Design sprints create focus and allow all perspectives and expertise to inform the end output in only a week.
Getting feedback right away from clients saves lots of money and time.
People get more comfortable with new agile mindsets where they try things out and show “works in progress” that are not perfect. (Fehlersourveränität)
Pro-active thinking, agile mindset and motivation are key. As a certified systemic coach with expertise in both Design Thinking/Sprints and new skills in PSI-Theory Dr. Julius Kuhl, I can help you and your teams find the levers that work.
As always, thanks for your comments and for reading!

Finally, the icing on the cupcake, something disruptive to think about
„The S-curve mental model makes a compelling case for personal disruption. We may be quite adept at doing the math around our future when things are linear, but neither business nor life is linear, and ultimately what our brain needs, even requires, is the dopamine of the unpredictable. More importantly, as we inhabit an increasingly zig-zag world, the best curve you can throw the competition is your ability to leap from one learning curve to the next.“
