Accelerate problem-solving and unlock new opportunities.
Design Sprints are a proven way to make rapid progress on complex challenges – bringing people together to focus, collaborate and test ideas in a short, structured timeframe.
At Maine Associates, we facilitate sprints that help organisations explore opportunities, develop solutions and align around next steps. Whether you’re refining a service, tackling a challenge or exploring how AI could support a new approach, we help you move from discussion to direction — fast.
What we offer
We design and facilitate sprints that help teams:
- Explore new ideas and test assumptions
- Develop and iterate service concepts or delivery models
- Solve specific challenges with fresh thinking
- Identify opportunities for innovation, including the role of AI
- Build momentum and alignment around next steps
Our sprint formats can be adapted to your needs — from one-day accelerators to multi-day sessions or phased design and delivery cycles.
How we work
Our sprints combine structured facilitation with creative tools and clear outcomes. You’ll get:
- A focused design process shaped to your context
- Collaborative frameworks to guide thinking and decision-making
- Visual tools to capture insights and surface key themes
- A tested sprint structure that keeps energy high and outcomes clear
We also offer follow-up support to help embed learning and move ideas into action.
When to work with us
You might bring us in to:
- Run a sprint to develop or test a new service concept
- Bring cross-functional teams together to rapidly explore solutions
- Facilitate an AI Sprint to identify practical applications of AI in your organisation
- Help partners co-design the delivery approach for a new initiative
- Support a short, focused piece of work that needs clarity and momentum
Whether you’re tackling a service challenge, shaping a new opportunity or exploring the potential of AI, a design sprint offers a practical, energising way to move things forward quickly and collaboratively.
