What is a GCD discovery sprint?
Our Discovery Sprints are inspired by the Product Design Sprint service we’ve been using with our clients for years now.
We’ve taken the concept of solving a digital transformation problem in a contained period of time and transformed it into our own Discovery Sprint service.
