Business Design Sprint

A focused 12-session process to make the whole business visible, turn it into a working operating manual and get the business moving in the direction you want it to.

  • 12 fortnightly one-to-one, in-person sessions
  • Switch between design and implementation, so you can put what you learn into practice
  • Ongoing support between sessions if you have questions

What you get

Business reframe with priorities ranked

We map your key activities, showing how the business operates as a whole. It makes the connections, pressure points and immediate priorities visible.

2–4 strategic options

We identify 2–4 strategic options built around the unique value only you can deliver. Each shows the differentiated position, priorities and next steps required to make it work.

Structured business audit

We review the people, roles and resources behind the business, exposing weak links, stretched capacity and unclear ownership. The audit sets out the structural changes needed to keep work moving.

Value creation, delivery and capture map

We document how work, people and cash move through the business and where value gets stuck. The map exposes leaks, bottlenecks and the points slowing the business down.

Every business faces challenges

Poor visibility turns problems
into recurring fires.

Without visibility, every problem feels urgent and every solution depends on you. Your attention goes to whatever is loudest and the business keeps moving, but it becomes difficult to navigate toward a better position.

  1. Competitive pressure

    Threatening to put the business out of business as the pressure to stay busy surrenders to the need to out bid competitors at any cost.

  2. External shocks

    A conflict disrupts supply, policy changes overnight and customers still expect the same price and delivery date.

  3. Cashflow constraints

    Struggling with the compulsive guilt of robbing "Peter" to pay "Paul" as debts pile up with tax, suppliers and payroll all pulling at the same cash.

  4. People gaps

    A no-show blows up the roster, good people get poached and every decent applicant already has three offers.

  5. Capability & Capacity Calls

    Contributing to the daily urgency to contain internal dramas, as focus on initiatives that really matter, have to give way to fires at hand.

What we deliver

The Business Design Sprint

Delivered over 12 sessions, we work with you one-to-one, with the business as it runs. Across three phases, we design, implement and refine what matters most, alternating between planning what needs to change and putting it into practice.

Strategic business reframe

Strategy (/ˈstratɪdʒi/) nounThe value only you can deliver. Your unique, differentiated and unchallenged market position.

We map the value only you can deliver across nine functional areas, delivering a clear, differentiated position customers can recognise. You leave with a practical framework you can use immediately, not a thick strategy deck.

Structured Business Audit

Structures (/ˈstrʌktʃə/) plural nounThe people, roles and resources that make your business work.

We identify missing capabilities, capacity and structural bottlenecks, clarifying who owns what and how work should move. This creates a practical structure that keeps decisions moving without everything finding its way back to you.

Systemised Business Flow

Systems (/ˈsɪstɪm/) plural nounHow people, activities and cash move through your business.

We trace how people, activities and cash move through the business, revealing stretched capacity, trapped cash and problems before they spread. This creates practical systems that keep work moving without unnecessary intervention.

Otherwise, you have two options
(neither good).

You give up

You sell too early, accept less than the business is worth, or burn out and walk away. Not because you lack effort, but because keeping the business alive has consumed your time, money and energy.

You buy bad advice

You buy another course, join another program and collect another framework. It promises to help you work “on” the business, but adds more advice, homework and theory while the real problems keep happening “in” it.
