The D&D Sprint

A clarity sprint for complex decisions

The D&D Sprint is a short, intensive consulting engagement designed to help leadership teams move from ambiguity to aligned action—fast.

It’s built for moments when:

  • There’s momentum, but no shared direction

  • Ideas are strong, but priorities aren’t clear

  • Leadership needs confidence before investing time, money, or political capital

What this is (and isn’t)

This is:

  • Senior-level diagnosis

  • Strategic framing

  • Concept and pilot design

  • Decision support

This is not:

  • Execution

  • Open-ended consulting

  • A bloated strategy deck

  • A long-term commitment

Sprint Structure

Phase 1: Diagnose

We focus on understanding the system—not just the surface problem.

Includes:

  • Stakeholder interviews or intake sessions

  • Review of existing plans, ideas, and constraints

  • Market, cultural, and organizational signal scan

  • Clear articulation of the core challenge

Outputs:

  • Problem definition

  • Opportunity map

  • Strategic tensions and constraints

  • What not to pursue

Phase 2: Design

We turn insight into a direction you can act on.

Includes:

  • Facilitated co-design session (90–120 min)

  • Concept development (1–3 viable directions)

  • Feasibility and impact framing

  • Success metrics and pilot logic

Outputs:

  • Primary recommended path

  • Alternative options with trade-offs

  • 90-day roadmap

  • Decision-ready narrative

Final Deliverables

  • Sprint Readout (PDF / deck)

  • Executive debrief call

  • Optional: internal / external language for alignment and buy-in

Timeline & Investment

  • Timeline: 10–14 days

  • Investment: $, depending on scope and complexity

This sprint often becomes the foundation for:

  • Pilots

  • Partnerships

  • Funding conversations

  • Larger strategic engagements

—but it stands on its own.

Who this works best for

Organizations that:

  • Need clarity before scaling

  • Want alignment across stakeholders

  • Value speed without sacrificing depth

  • Prefer decisive thinking over endless exploration
