Quickly prototype useful, tested solutions that are centered on practical uses
Accelerate Without Losing Relevance
In an unstable, digitalized environment under pressure for innovation, organizations need to move quickly—but efficiently. The design sprint allows for designing, testing, and adjusting solutions in a short time, without compromising on usability, coherence, and business alignment.
At Aktan, we have developed an enhanced design sprint, incorporating ethnography, co-design, and high-fidelity prototyping, to transform your intentions into tested and actionable prototypes.
A Structured 5-Week Method from Idea to Proof
Our sprint is divided into 5 successive phases:
1. Strategic Framing (Week 1)
Kick-off
Problematic Analysis (business, organization, usage)
AI desk research + internal interviews
Issues and Scope Formalization
2. Exploration (Week 2)
User Studies (interviews, observations, ethnographic focus)
Mapping of Current Experiences
Insight Synthesis (pain points, opportunities)
3. Definition & Ideation (Week 3)
Concept Exploration
Co-design of Usage Scenarios
Storyboards / Wireflows
Collective Prioritization
4. Prototyping (Week 4)
High-fidelity Prototypes (web, mobile, interface, relational script)
Test Protocol Writing
Iteration on Key Interactions
5. Testing & Delivery (Week 5)
User Testing in Real Conditions (in test space or in situ)
Feedback Analysis
Design Recommendations + Deployment Strategy
Delivery and Regulation (Workshop 3)
Options for In-depth Exploration
Ethno Focus: one-day immersion + context of use analysis
AI Exploration: solution benchmarking, strategic positioning, and AI issue mapping
