"Design Sprint School"
I am very enthusiastic about the tools and methodologies we just have learnt and applied at Design Sprint School. This course was pretty amazing. For me … with a professional background (long time ago) as process engineer, working with 6 sigma and Falconi’ s methodology for example.… very old concepts that are falling apart…I can say that re-discover that we have creative thinking skills was just a turning point for me. THANKS A lot for all Design Sprint School team!!!

"Learn how to “think definitely” and help others to do so aswell through a structured design thinking process"
It’s been an amazing experience over the last 5 weeks. What I have really learned loads from is the design thinking and user research aspect of service design. The most important for me was learning what a design sprint is made up off, the process and how to run one.

"This is "Design Doing" "
This is the best thing I did this year for my professional development. I had been looking for a user centered design approach to solving problems and creating new services. And I found it at Design Sprint School where I learned a lean process to design, prototype & test solutions and services in five days. Not 5 months or 5 weeks, but five days. By using the GV Model (Google Ventures) or MVS (Minimum Valuable Service) Model, you will learn to put the user at the center of your research and design services that people love.

"Its Time of Design Thinking!"
I recently completed the Design Thinking online course with the Design Sprint School! It was an extremely valuable experience because it gave me a set of tools and step-by-step case-based exposure to Design Thinking in just 4 weeks. I have already started to apply the sprints to my business and volunteer work. Its an easy, inexpensive and practical way to drive innovation and solve issues in a very short period of time. The coach and support team were excellent to work with. And the team based structure and forum setup enriched the experience exponentially given all the diverse background of the student involved.

""Great program to set the stage to foster Innovation""
The Design Sprint School inspired me a lot with practical agile methods and theory on service design approach. At the same time, it gave me insights in many innovation opportunities and challenges yet to exploit. I also learned how powerful the role of service design sprint has become and how impactful it could be to drive Co-Innovation faster with customers in various vertical markets as well as accelerating Solution Co-Development with eco-system partners as we design solutions as service. I really look forward to leverage this experience for my day-to-day and lifetime work.

"Learn how to run a design sprint with this fun and well put-together course"
The Hivelab Design Sprint School is a great way to learn design thinking using either the Minimum Valuable Service (MVS) or Google Ventures model for design sprints. You will learn when to use each model and how to lead a team through a sprint. Along the way, you get insights about the history of design methods, how designers approach problems and real-life examples of design thinking in action.
Using a pre-built case study, you will be paired up with a fellow student who will give you feedback and role-play the customer throughout the course. Typically, design thinking works better in person and with a team, but this is obviously very difficult to deliver online, so assigning a dedicated partner is the next best thing. Hivelab mentors provide oversight and answer any questions you mi...

"Eye-opening, refreshing and new learning experience."
Pros:
1. Flexible to be completed at own pace
2. Able to interact with participants from around the world while saving on travelling costs
3. Going through both GV model and MVS model in 1 certification
4. Feedback was quite fast
5. Rich content, engaging discussions
6. Exposed to new prototyping methods - using paper to prototype apps
Cons:
1. Online will still never replace face to face interaction
2. Comparatively, GV model was given less emphasis

Thanks for your review, it's awesome to see you really enjoyed your experience with us. We strive to treat both models in the same way during the program, which means we aim to cover them to their full length, end to end. Students choose one model in the beginning and they stick to it during the program, this means all the mentorship hours are dedicated to helping the student succeed with that specific model they chose. The GV is a more practical, hit the ground running, activity-to-activity type of approach. The MVS requires a bit more of design theory to play around with because of its Service Design inheritance. We try to round the content to accommodate both scenarios in order to prepare students to run their own sprints with fluidity regardless of the model they choose. We would love to hear from you regarding what gave you that impression and what do you think we can do to improve. Please, if you feel like, reach out in the Slack community or via the school service emails you have and help us iterate and improve. Thanks a lot for the review!

"Become a skilled and effective Design Sprint facilitator, run and adjust them maximizing the benefit for your team, organization, and clients"
The Design Sprint School is an excellent course to equip you to understand, design and run sprints that are best suited for your organization. If you are in charge of innovation initiatives within a company, or if you run a team that creates products and services. You will be able to empower your people to run the efficient and user-driven innovation by facilitating the right kind of sprint. By the end of the course, you will be strong in the principles and practice of running MVS and GV Sprints, so you can guide teams, and remix the techniques in both and adjust them as necessary to maximize the benefit for your team, organization, and clients.

"Practical Method and Excellent Mentorship"
After I read the book "Service Startup", I wanted to gain opportunity to practice it.
I thought that I already understood the method and process, but I found there were gap between "understand" and "can do" while I took this course.
This is very practical course, even if it is online. I need to do some works such as user interview, ideation or prototyping. (That's what I wanted, but much harder than I thought.)
Sometimes, when I got stuck, I was able to ask mentors any time on slack. As for the output, I was able to obtain feedback as soon as I submitted.
Mentor was truly excellent, never offering answers, but navigating the direction to think and take actions to help me understand.
It was not easy for me to finish this course (I worked 5 to 6 hours per week...), but it was really...

"Quick paced, full social and practical experience"
This is a very practical programme to immerse yourself in either GV or MVS practice. You get taught in both methodologies but you select mainly one to practice with with a real case-study. I loved the interaction with my mentor and peer, which enabled me to be fully accountable. It's important to create some space in your week for the study and practical assignments because the pace is quite high. Finally, the fact that the other participants also share their questions, findings, insights and very useful resource, makes the course a very enjoyable experience. Warmly recommended. (PS I chose the mentor path, so i still have more fun ahead of me!)
