Seamus Gavin
Innovation Manager @ BSI Group

DSA gave me a great grounding in facilitation techniques and design sprint methodology. The quality of their tuition and facilitation and attention to detail in how they present their approach sets them apart.

Tim-Allan Schäufelin
Senior Product Manager @ Adidas

John and the Design Sprint Academy are a highly professional team. They helped to identify the right problems, generate a context that was needed to find the right answers, and enabled our team to have creative exchanges and take a significant step forward in our project. All this considered our needs and was tailored during the process.

Gavriel Magonet
Fintech Creative Technologist, Strategist @ Runpath by Experian

Working with Design Sprint Academy we completely unlocked the benefits of design sprints promised in the book Sprint. Design Sprints are now a cornerstone of how we work and we continue to improve them with help from the Design Sprint Academy.

Els Quentyn
Innovation Manager @ Arteco NV

Both the problem framing and the design sprint were conducted under excellent moderation. The DSA facilitator was strict on time when required, inspirational when possible, and demanding and ambitious when needed!

Audrey Watanabe
Associate Manager, Inventor Relations @ MATTEL

I recently participated in a design sprint training and it was GREAT! Design Sprint Academy was professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the seminar material and helped my group feel comfortable and confident as well.
The hands-on learning was excellent, and I really appreciated getting both participant and facilitator perspectives.

Chris Wahl
Innovation Project Manager @ Turner Construction Company

DSA provides an amazing training experience. John and the team have developed a professional and fun experience with just the right mix of presentation content and hands-on demonstrations. I'm confident we can apply the methodologies taught to deliver impact!

Christine Davey
Head of Digital Business Transformation @ Which?

The strongest outcome for me was the ability to scale capability quickly. We now deliver Problem Framing sessions in-house directly off the back of the Design Sprint Certification program.

David Chavez
Senior Design Manager | Seller Experience @ eBay

DSA mastered the art of the perfect remote sprint. We had a week-long sprint and a 2-day training session with them, led by John. His expertise and efficiency in facilitating remote sprints were evident. His experience and insightful examples answered all our queries. For top-notch design sprint facilitation, choose John and his team. I highly recommend him and look forward to future collaborations.
