Design Sprints

A Journalism Design Sprint is a solutions-focused, hands-on programme for designing effective strategies for new challenges and opportunities.

Our approach to consulting centres around our unique Journalism Design Sprint – a variation on the traditional five-day design sprint process.

Over the course of two or three days, Fathm’s expert practitioners will guide you through our tried-and-tested methodologies for problem-solving and creative thinking. 

You will walk away with a deeper understanding of the needs of your organisation and a clear implementation plan for how you can get ahead of the curve.

And, as you might have guessed, there are a lot of Post-it notes involved.
