The 60-Minute Executive Problem-Solving Sprint

Got a burning issue? Use the wisdom of the crowd to generate and rank actionable solutions in under an hour.

About this session

Senior leadership teams often lose momentum when critical problems are met with open-ended debate rather than decisive action. This session converts a high-stakes issue into a set of concrete next steps by moving participants through a rigorous, time-boxed sequence of individual reflection and group filtering.

Why it works

The sprint bypasses the typical "loudest voice" dynamic by using silent ideation and structured voting to surface the most viable solutions. It forces a move from abstract concerns to specific commitments, ensuring that every participant has a stake in the final decision through a transparent ranking process.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

Executives, Senior Leaders
