My Hot Take on the Foundation Sprint | #ADAW Ep. 03
In this episode, I share my thoughts on Foundation Sprints, a new workshop format created by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. I was lucky enough to take part in the first public training, and Iโm excited to share what I learned.
This sprint is all about building a solid foundation before jumping into execution. I walk through the key steps: identifying your target audience, defining the core problem, exploring your advantages, analyzing competitors, and finding what makes you stand out.
I also do a deep dive into one decision-making activity from the sprint that I think every facilitator should have in their toolkit.
If youโre looking for a simple, effective way to design better workshops, this episode is full of tips and ideas you can start using right away.
