What you need to know about working with a Design Sprint agency
For start-ups, Design Sprint agencies can be the difference between sink or swim. If an aspect of your business isn't performing as hoped, a Design Sprint provides insight into the problem, a new approach, and a roadmap to its successful implementation. We are experts in unlocking creativity and viable business or product ideas. Our experienced design teams will guide you through a series of workshop exercises that unlock creativity in a structured way, producing practical, actionable results. With busy schedules in mind, decision-maker participation in workshops is minimized while still achieving the desired outcomes.

Scaling Plastic Action Globally
A world-renowned NGO asked Windmill to scale its impact without increasing costs.

In the first sprint, Windmill designed a national readiness assessment tool to identify where a country is on their plastic action journey.
In the second sprint, the team created the template of an interactive step-by-step plastic action workflow to guide a team through a year-long plastic action journey.

We combined desk-based research with a hands-on Design Sprint to solve problems by designing, prototyping, and testing ideas with users.
Through a number of workshops that brought in representatives of the bank and several EAMs, the team delved into existing actors, systems, workflows, and problems and built out a vision for the new product.
