Toronto
Toronto teams with a live bet and a sponsor who can stop it
Inkeros, a Canadian company, used a two-day Collective Campus lean design sprint in Toronto when stakeholders were pulling toward different bets. The point was to choose a direction with evidence, not to average the opinions in the room.
We run that kind of sprint in Toronto, at your office or a room in the city, or hybrid if a sponsor joins from elsewhere. You bring the idea. You leave with a test that fits the resources you already have.
- Inkeros used a two-day Collective Campus lean design sprint in Toronto to choose a direction instead of committing to the wrong one.
- Your session uses that format on a bet you bring, in person or hybrid.
- For innovation, venture and product teams, plus the sponsor who has to fund or stop the work.
- You leave with a kill, pivot or scale call.
The problem
Big bets. Long roadmaps. No idea if it'll work.
Betting blind
Months of build committed before a single customer has weighed in.
Sunk-cost creep
Nobody wants to kill the project everyone's already spent on.
Feedback too late
You only find out it missed once it's shipped, the most expensive time to learn.
What you'll walk away with
By the end of the sprint, your team will have
- Your riskiest assumptions surfaced and ranked
- An MVP or prototype built to test the biggest one
- Real signal from real customers, not internal opinion
- A clear go / pivot / kill decision, backed by evidence
- An experiment backlog and a Build-Measure-Learn cadence to keep running
