From vision to impact - the strategy sprint
summary
A lightweight, repeatable Strategy Sprint compresses strategy formulation into a five-day sprint that combines Google Ventures’ Design Sprint structure with the three pillars from Good Strategy Bad Strategy; teams build a slide or pitch and pitch to senior leadership for hard feedback on day four or five. Pilots at Spotify produce one clear, actionable deck (first pilot worked; second failed with a too-large group), later runs raise MRR for a fintech via pricing changes and cut a product portfolio down to nine items.
