Google Ventures Sprints for rapid innovation

We facilitate Google Ventures Sprints to accelerate progress and promote innovation. The method is rooted in collaborative creativity and rapid decision making, ensuring vital challenges are tackled swiftly and effectively. With this approach, teams can validate ideas and solve complex problems in a matter of days rather than months. Traditionally Google Ventures Sprints were run in person, but we have designed a bespoke Remote or Hybrid Google Ventures Sprint - to accommodate global teams.

The HIA team are incredible at what they do — facilitators are so practised, thorough with the framework and have the ability to quite quickly develop an understanding of the problem at hand and be able to nudge, push, provoke as and when required. It's something I am in absolute awe of. Thank you for all that you do!
