Lightning Decision Jam
Values
Prepared by LEAP
Instead of meticulously planning every detail and strategising on the best way forward,
pick a small way to get started. You’ll learn quickly and avoid endless push-back.
Getting started is more
important than being right
Prepared by LEAP
We don’t rely on
creativity
Here at Leap we’re not just teaching what’s trendy, we’re teaching what works and can be
repeated within your organisation. Our workshops are not just about motivation and fun,
they’re also about learning applicable, actionable skills that your teams can use.
Prepared by LEAP
Minimise
Discussions
Don’t sit in a meeting, going around in circles, trying to align with people from different
parts of the business. Structure your conversations and focus them around a tangible
shared objective using Design Sprint tools and tactics.
Prepared by LEAP
Together
Alone
It’s typical that the loudest or the most confident person pushes their ideas through.
Sprint provides an equal environment for everyone so the more introverted amongst us
will have an equal voice. Everyone completes tasks silently and alone.

How Might We? Or ‘HMW…’
The statement ‘How Might We …’
How assumes that there are solutions out there, so it provides confidence.
Might suggests that the group can put ideas out there that might or might not work - either way it is ok.
We suggests the group is going to do it together and build on each other's ideas.
