Strategy Sprints
Intensive facilitated workshops that turn strategic ambiguity into clear, actionable deliverables. Your team walks in with questions. Your team walks out with a roadmap.
Why Sprints Work
Compressed Timelines
Traditional strategy consulting takes weeks. Sprints deliver working drafts in hours. Your team builds momentum instead of waiting for a deliverable.
Cohort Pressure Testing
Every strategy gets challenged by peers in real time. Blind spots surface fast. Weak assumptions get exposed before they cost you money, time, or credibility.
Real Deliverables, Not Lectures
These are not seminars. Participants build their own Strategy on a Page, their own TPP draft, their own execution priorities. The learning happens through doing.
Strategic Clarity in Early-Stage Drug or Platform Development
A facilitated sprint grounded in the Strategic Choice Cascade framework from Roger Martin and A.G. Lafley's Playing to Win. Teams define their strategic choices, build a Strategy on a Page, and pressure-test it with the full cohort.
Sprint Components
An opening exercise that gets the room thinking strategically from minute one.
The core principle: strategy is choices. What you choose not to do matters as much as what you choose to do.
Walk through the framework that has shaped strategy at Procter & Gamble, Olay, and hundreds of organizations worldwide.
Hands-on. Each team builds their strategy using the cascade. Choices get made. Trade-offs get surfaced.
Small-group feedback sessions where peers challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and sharpen the strategy.
Live cohort critique. Every strategy faces the full room. The strongest ideas survive. The weak ones get rebuilt.
Follow-up included: Every team receives a dedicated 45-minute individual discussion with Dr. Rodriguez to refine their Strategy on a Page after the sprint.
The Power of the Target Product Profile (TPP) / Platform Target Profile (PTP)
Your TPP defines what success looks like before you run a single study. This sprint teaches the principles, then puts teams to work building their own profile from scratch.
Sprint Components
A fast exercise that builds cohort connection and surfaces shared challenges across teams.
What makes a strong Target Product Profile. How to define success criteria, identify evidence gaps, and prioritize attributes.
Teams draft their own profile in real time. No theory. Just execution.
Peer feedback in small groups followed by full-cohort critique. Gaps get identified. Priorities get sharpened.
Follow-up included: Every team receives a dedicated 45-minute individual discussion to refine their TPP/PTP draft and clarify next steps.
What You Leave With
These are not hypothetical exercises. Every participant walks out with tangible, refined deliverables ready for immediate use.
Who This Is For
Strategy Sprints serve teams navigating the earliest and most uncertain stages of drug or platform development. If you are making choices that shape the next three to five years, this is for you.
Biotech Startup R&D Teams
Small teams with big science and limited runway. Every strategic choice matters. Sprints help you make the right ones early.
PIs, Postdocs, and Early-Career Scientists
Researchers transitioning from bench to translational development. Build the strategic foundation your science deserves.
Non-Profits, Accelerators, and Coalitions
Organizations funding or supporting multiple programs. Give your portfolio teams a shared strategic language and proven framework.
Researchers Driving Early-Stage Development
Anyone leading a drug or platform from discovery toward the clinic. Strategy clarity now prevents costly pivots later.
