With design sprint to new product concepts

Module: Co-Create
Keywords: Design Sprint, Co-Creation, Agile Innovation, Beverages

This was the starting point for a large brewery when we started talking. Not all innovation projects start with market gaps or unmet needs, many start with new technologies.

In a 4-day design sprint, we worked with a cross-functional customer team to develop not only a comprehensive understanding of potential target markets and product paths, but also specific product concepts. And we got qualitative feedback directly from potential users.

The result: a symbiosis of two existing product categories, a good first feeling for target group resonance, and a real motivation boost for the client team and new confidence in their own creative and analytical abilities... Agile teamwork at its best!
