Readers can use this book to solve problems rapidly and build their own design sprints practise by using a repeatable methodology that works in the office and with remote teams! - Jeff Sheehan, Top 50 Global Thought Leader & Influencer on CX and Business Strategy by Thinkers360 and author of Customer Experience Management Field Manual ""Design workshops are a must when generating new product ideas and driving alignment within a larger team.
