Ready for a fresh approach?
From Uncertainty to Aligned Action.
FutureSprint™ is a high-impact strategy sprint designed for fast-changing conditions. It helps leadership teams face hard decisions together and walk away with a plan they actually believe in.
Co-developed by We Design Futures and Dynamic Foresight
The pace of change isn’t slowing and most teams are flying blind. Whether “the future” for you means 6 months or 3 years, FutureSprint™ helps your leadership team make better decisions, faster.
Using custom scenarios, behavioral insight, and fast-paced strategic design, we help you:
- Reveal what’s changing and what it means for your business
- Align around what matters most
- Make decisions you can move on quickly
The result? A 90-day roadmap shaped by your team, grounded in your reality, and designed for the future you want to lead.
FutureSprint™ is a strategic sprint that helps leadership teams align around bold, human-centered decisions and turn insight into action.
The best strategies don’t just point to the future.
They pull people toward it.
We use custom narrative scenarios, behavioral insight, and fast-paced strategic design to help your team:
- Reveal what’s changing—and what it means for your business
- Align around what matters most
- Make decisions you can actually move on
The result? A 90-day roadmap shaped by your team, grounded in your reality, and designed for the future you want to lead.
People don’t follow strategy documents. They follow meaning, clarity, and momentum.
The Leadership Moment
You’ve built something strong. But staying strong takes different leadership now.
The pace of change is relentless; shifting policies, customer needs, and tech.
The future feels more urgent than ever.
Your team is smart, capable, and under pressure.
You don’t need another offsite.
You need a catalyst to help you align fast and move forward together.
Sound familiar?
You’ve built something solid—but the world around you is shifting faster than your strategy can keep up.
Growth has slowed, and your next strategic move feels uncertain.
Global disruptions—from supply chains to policy shifts—are rewriting the rules in real time.
Your team is talented, but untested in navigating transformation.
You’re carrying the pressure to lead the breakthrough—without a clear path forward.
How It Works
FutureSprint™ follows a four-part structure designed to move your team from uncertainty to clarity.
1. Prepare the leadership team
Team members complete a Predictive Index assessment. We use that data to lead a high-impact team workshop before the FutureSprint™.
2. Customize Possibilities
Through stakeholder interviews and light research, we identify uncertainties and craft your custom scenarios.
3. Sprint the Custom Futures
Your leadership team steps into immersive, real-world scenarios, exploring opportunities, confronting trade-offs, and making bold, aligned decisions about next steps.
4. Commit to a Path Forward
You leave with a roadmap shaped by your team. You have clear priorities, accountable owners, and a renewed sense of purpose, no matter what’s ahead.
Some teams complete FutureSprint in a single, high-impact day. Others spread it across 3–5 sessions. We tailor the format to fit your team, your timeline, and your readiness.
Why It Works—and What You’ll Take With You
FutureSprint™ transcends traditional workshops, serving as a strategic catalyst that fosters both intellectual clarity and emotional commitment.
By concentrating on future possibilities rather than past patterns, it equips your team to proactively shape what’s next. You can expect:
A future-ready strategy
Not just a deck of ideas—but a scenario-tested roadmap your team actually believes in.
Real alignment at the leadership level
We design the experience to engage every voice—surfacing the conversations your team needs, but rarely makes time for.
Clarity on key decisions
FutureSprint™ creates space to face uncertainty together, so your team walks away with shared insight and confidence—not confusion.
Practical tools and shared language
Teams leave with frameworks they can reuse, a stronger decision-making culture, and a renewed sense of shared ownership.

They challenged us to look closely at where we are and where we need to go. Their thorough and collaborative process—including employee interviews, predictive methods, and scenario planning—was crucial in helping us focus beyond day-to-day operations.
The tools and guidance they provided have been incredibly beneficial for our bank, employees, and Board.
This isn’t just our belief—it’s backed by research.
